Communication Agent
Parent updates and student check-ins — drafted in your voice, sent when you approve.
The Communication Agent drafts parent progress notes, student check-ins, absence follow-ups, and class announcements using your course context — grades, trends, and recent work. Review, edit, and send from one inbox. Eight minutes per message becomes one.
