🧰This Week’s Tool I’m Testing: Runner H

An AI Agent That Doesn’t Just Advise — It Executes

What it is: Runner H automates complex business tasks end-to-end using a team of AI agents that connect with your existing tools (Slack, Google Workspace, Notion, CRM, web). You give it an instruction — it completes the job without you lifting a finger.

Why it’s worth trying: Runner H doesn’t just suggest next steps — it takes them. This is AI as a task execution layer: replacing manual workflows, accelerating ops, and freeing up your team to focus on what actually drives revenue.

How it stacks up:

• vs. ChatGPT / Claude / LLMs → Runner H doesn’t stop at giving you an answer — it logs in, fetches the data, builds the doc, and sends the email.

• vs. Traditional automation tools → No rigid if/then flows — Runner H adapts, re-plans, and “self-heals” when UI or data sources change.

• vs. Internal ops teams → Launch once, scale instantly — no additional headcount or process overhead.

• vs. Custom AI agents → Prebuilt agent architecture with plug-and-play access to 100+ tools via APIs and browser actions.

Business impact:

• 10x reduction in time spent on repetitive ops

• Up to 92.2% task completion accuracy across complex workflows

• Massive savings on headcount, tooling, and time-to-output

First step: Pick a single recurring task — like generating weekly summaries, updating CRM fields, or sending formatted reports. Give Runner H the instruction and let it take over.

Triple Threat Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Best of all: it’s completely free during beta

🚀 The Marketing Stack Mindset is Out. Unified Systems Are In.

For years, growth teams built massive stacks: CRM + email + lead scoring + analytics + automation + content tools. The thinking was “best tool for every job.” But now, the winners are shifting to intelligent platforms — ones that connect, learn, and optimize as they go.

Why this shift matters:

• Average tool utilization has dropped to 33%

• Fragmented workflows waste time and dilute performance

• Most teams can’t answer “What’s actually working?” because their data lives in silos

What smart companies are doing now:

• Unifying data flows across customer touchpoints

• Automating decisions based on real-time behavior

• Collapsing workflows into a single AI brain that handles everything from prospecting to churn prevention

One emerging approach gaining real traction is centralized AI decisioning — where an intelligent system continuously drives actions and optimizations across the full customer journey. It’s modular, API-driven, and designed to scale fast without locking you into a rigid stack. This overview from CMSWire walks through how leading teams are putting it into practice.

Real results:

• British Council achieved a 70% reduction in marketing content creation costs and 50% faster turnaround time by leveraging AI-powered design automation.

• A large engineering firm reported a 90% reduction in manual reporting time through streamlined analytics solutions.

• A major utility company achieved a 90% reduction in manual intervention by implementing strategic automation with scheduled report generation and trigger bots.

Takeaway:
This isn’t about buying fewer tools. It’s about building smarter systems that learn and improve every day. Your stack shouldn’t just work — it should work for you.

What to do next:
Start by mapping your current stack. Identify where data is siloed, which tools overlap, and which workflows are still manual. Then look for consolidation points — where one AI-powered platform could replace three separate tools and make decisions faster. Think systems, not software.

🤖Alex’s Custom GPT of the Week: The GPT That Rebuilt my Health After Baby #2

(Custom GPTs are purpose-built AI assistants I design for specific workflows on ChatGPT —think: your own virtual analyst, researcher, or strategist on demand.)

These won’t always be sales or marketing tools. Sometimes, the most impactful GPTs are the ones that improve real life. This is the first personal one I’m sharing and it completely reshaped how I approach health and fitness.

After baby #2, I couldn’t drop the weight. I spent thousands on a personal trainer who took 24+ hours to respond, gave me “custom” workouts that felt copy-pasted, and never adjusted in real time. It didn’t stick.

So I built a GPT that did what she couldn’t: adapt to my life — instantly.

Who it’s for:
Busy professionals, new parents, frequent travelers — anyone who wants consistent structure, smart recommendations, and a coach that’s always on.

What it does:
You answer a few questions about your goals, schedule, equipment, and food preferences. It builds a personalized fitness and nutrition plan focused on metabolic health — no fads, no extremes. Just sustainable choices built around your reality. It creates your grocery list, adjusts meals, swaps workouts on the fly, and evolves as you go.

Want to eat out? Snap a menu. On the road? Tell it what gear you’ve got. It adapts in seconds.

Why it’s a game changer:

• I’ve been using it since February and I am down 15 lbs and lost 8% body fat

• It gave me a flexible, sustainable system — and it’s free

• Bonus: it even got me off the chips and crackers
