AI agent for students
Financial Aid and Tuition Deadline Agent
Every aid and tuition deadline is met, with submissions confirmed in the portal.
What it does
A financial aid form due Friday and a tuition payment due Monday sit in separate portals and emails, and missing one can cost a student hundreds or thousands of dollars. This agent collects aid forms, due dates and document needs from school portals and emails, and tracks what has been submitted. It flags missing items, such as a tax document or a signature. After each submission it rechecks the portal to confirm the status changed, and drafts reminders. Edge case: a form says submitted but the portal shows pending review, so the agent flags it. The student approves anything sent.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
