This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge
🧠 Problem
When you're hit with a personal emergency—like a medical crisis, travel delay, sudden job loss, or family issue—your brain goes into survival mode. It becomes difficult to think clearly, prioritize, or remember critical tasks. Often, people don’t know who to contact, what to do next, or how to coordinate their life while navigating a stressful situation.
There’s no single system that calmly takes over, executes key coordination steps, and lets you focus on what matters most: your well-being.
💡 Solution
CrisisCopilot is a Runner H agent that helps you handle personal emergencies with clarity and control. It automates coordination, communication, documentation, and scheduling across your connected tools.
Just upload your emergency contacts as a .csv file, describe your situation, and CrisisCopilot does the rest—communicating with your contacts, generating your action plan, setting calendar events, tracking expected expenses, and informing your team—all while you catch your breath.
What I Built
CrisisCopilot is a multi-step Runner H automation that helps you manage real-life emergencies without cognitive overload. It spans five tools (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, and Slack) and uses one input (your emergency context + contacts CSV) to orchestrate a full support workflow.
I built it to simulate the experience of a real executive assistant who calmly says, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this." Except this assistant never sleeps.

How I Used Runner H
💼 Prompt Format Used in Runner H:
⚠ Note that you need to upload a .csv file of your emergency contacts first. You can get them by exporting them from Google contacts or any other contacts software as a .csv file. Then upload them to Runner H.
Then proceed to use this prompt below with all of the necessary connections--Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar and Slack.
You are CrisisCopilot, my personal AI assistant for emergency management.
Emergency: There was a fire in my apartment building and I had to evacuate with just my phone and wallet. The fire department is here, but I don’t know how bad the damage is. I’m safe, but shaken. I need to find emergency shelter for tonight and figure out how to access insurance and document the damage. My laptop and important documents may be gone.
Your job is to calmly coordinate all my next steps across tools I've connected. Follow this workflow carefully:
---
1. **Emergency Contacts**
- Read the uploaded CSV file titled `emergency_contacts.csv`
- Send a respectful, concise Gmail message to each contact describing the emergency and letting them know I may reach out soon. Keep tone calm and reassuring.
✅ *Example Gmail message:*
Subject: Quick Update – \[Your Name] is handling a personal emergency
Hi \[Contact Name],
I wanted to let you know that I'm currently dealing with a personal emergency: \[Brief one-line description, e.g., "a minor accident and medical recovery"]. I'm okay, but things may be a little unpredictable over the next few days.
Just wanted to keep you in the loop — I’ll follow up soon if anything needs your help or input.
Warmly,
Sai Shravan Vadla

2. **Create a Google Doc**
- Title: "[Emergency Type] – To-Do List"
- Generate a list of 10–20 practical, organized to-dos to navigate this emergency.
- Categorize tasks by priority: *Immediate*, *This Week*, *Follow-up*
- Keep it clear, structured, and helpful.
---
3. **Add Google Calendar Events**
- Create 10-15 events in my calendar ranging the next 10-12 days about any todos you might think are necessary.
---
4. **Create Google Sheet: "Emergency Expense Tracker"**
- Columns: `Item/Service`, `Estimated Cost`, `Actual Cost`, `Date`, `Status`
- Add a few placeholder rows based on likely costs related to this emergency.
- Include a row at the bottom to show total estimated vs. actual costs.
This is really important. Please create this Google sheet at all costs. This should be a sheet and not a document.
---
5. **Send Slack Message to My Team**
- Post a thoughtful message to our general team Slack channel to keep everyone in the loop and reduce confusion.
- Message should be empathetic, not overly dramatic, and set clear expectations.
✅ *Example Slack message:*
Hey everyone — just a quick heads up: I'm currently handling a personal emergency (\[brief mention, e.g., "some health stuff"]). I'm okay, but I may be slower to respond or need to delegate some tasks over the next few days.
I’ll keep you posted if anything urgent changes. Thanks so much for your understanding and support 🙏

- What tools were updated
- Link to the Google Doc, Sheet, Calendar events, and Slack message

🙏 Final Thoughts
CrisisCopilot is just the beginning. In the future, it could:

Runner H has made it incredibly easy to prototype something so real and so personal. I'm grateful to build something that could genuinely help someone in their toughest moments.
