AI agent for primary school teachers
Parent Conference Scheduling and Prep Agent
A conflict-free conference schedule with confirmed families and a prepared one-page brief per child
What it does
Before parent conferences, a teacher with 26 students has to find a time for each family, handle conflicts, pull each child's grades and notes and write what to say. It eats evenings. This agent collects each family's availability by message or form, then builds a schedule that fits the conference slots, with siblings and last-minute requests handled. It sends the proposed times for the teacher to approve and tracks confirmations. For each child it pulls grades, attendance, work samples and the teacher's notes and drafts talking points: strengths, one or two areas to work on and a question for the parent. If a conflict appears, such as a double booking or a family that cannot make any slot, it reschedules and rechecks the whole schedule. The teacher approves every message. Edge case: a parent needs an interpreter, and the agent adds time and flags it.
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.
