Building an Education Assistant Agent

Welcome to the class! In this series, we will build an AI-powered assistant to help teachers manage their classrooms and ensure educational equity.

The Goal

To create a software agent that acts as a:

1. Secretary: Managing schedules and tasks.
2. Monitor: Identifying students who need help.
3. Bridge: Anonymously relaying student feedback.

Course Structure

Step 1: Concept & Design

Understanding the problem (“One-to-Many”) and designing the “Brain, Memory, Mouth” architecture.

Step 2: Designing the Memory

Learning about Databases (SQLite) and designing schemas for Students, Schedules, and Feedback.

Step 3: Building the Brain

Implementing the core logic: Parsing natural language commands and creating the “Daily Monitor” loop.

Step 4: Interfaces & Integration

Connecting our agent to the real world using Discord and Email APIs.

Step 5: Use Cases & Examples

Exploring real-world scenarios where this agent promotes equity and efficiency: from the “Equity Guardian” to the “Safe Space” feedback loop.
