This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge
What I Built
I built a "Local Meetup/Club Discoverer" workflow using Runner H that automates the tedious and time-consuming process of finding new local interest groups and events.
it solves is the challenge of staying informed about new and relevant community activities.

How I Used Runner H
Here's a breakdown of how Runner H's capabilities were leveraged:
Autonomous Web Navigation: Runner H was instructed to navigate directly to Meetup.com (and potentially other community forum URLs).
Dynamic Form Interaction: I leveraged Runner H's capacity to identify and interact with dynamic web elements. This included inputting search terms into the "interests" field, entering location data
Intelligent Data Extraction: Runner H was tasked with extracting specific data points from the search results, such as group/event titles, descriptions, dates, locations, member counts, and direct URLs.
Structured Output Generation: Finally, Runner H was directed to compile all the extracted, filtered data into a well-organized spreadsheet (e.g., Google Sheet).
Instructions to Replicate the Workflow:
To replicate this workflow, you would provide Runner H with a prompt similar to the one below.
Prompt for Runner H:
"Discover new local meetup groups and events.
Inputs:
- Interests: [Comma-separated list of interests, e.g., "hiking, board games, coding meetups"]
- Location: [City, State/Province, Country, or Zip/Postal Code, e.g., "Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa"]
- Radius: [Distance and unit, e.g., "25 miles" or "40 km"]
Workflow:
- Go to Meetup.com.
- For each specified interest, search for groups and events within the given location and radius.
- Identify groups or events that appear new or have recent activity (e.g., events posted or updated in the last 30 days, or upcoming events).
- Extract the following details for each relevant finding: Group Name / Event Title, Description, Date & Time (for events), Location, Number of Members / Attendees, Link to the Meetup.com page, and any relevant Tags/Categories.
- If possible, also search prominent local community forums (e.g., [mention specific forum names if known, otherwise general search]) for similar new group or event announcements and extract relevant details.
- Filter out irrelevant or inactive entries.
- Compile all collected data into a structured table, with columns for all extracted details, and indicate the source (Meetup.com or specific forum). "
Use Case & Impact
For Individuals Seeking Community:
Newcomers to a City: Helps quickly integrate into a new environment by finding relevant social and professional groups.
Hobbyists & Enthusiasts: Effortlessly discover new clubs or events for niche interests (e.g., "vintage camera repair," "Dungeons & Dragons campaigns") that might be hard to find otherwise.
For Community Organizers & Businesses:
Event Planners/Marketers: Gain insights into the local event landscape, identify popular interests, and discover potential collaboration opportunities.
Local Businesses: Understand community interests to tailor marketing efforts or identify potential target audiences for local promotions.
How it Improves Existing Processes:
Time Efficiency: Dramatically reduces the hours spent on manual searching across multiple platforms, freeing up users for more meaningful activities.
Comprehensive Discovery: Ensures a wider net is cast, increasing the likelihood of finding truly "new" or less-advertised groups and events that might be missed by casual browsing.
Reduced Friction: Lowers the barrier to entry for community engagement by making discovery effortless and presenting information in an immediately actionable format.
Proactive Engagement Instead of reactively searching when a need arises, users can proactively receive updates on new opportunities, fostering continuous community involvement.
Data-Driven Insights: The structured output provides a clear overview, enabling users to quickly assess and prioritize which groups or events to explore further.
This Runner H solution transforms a tedious process into an automated, insightful process, empowering individuals and organizations to connect with their local community more effectively and to better understand and engage with local interests.
