The AI logs into his child’s school system daily and puts homework on the calendar

A father set up the AI with access to his credential vault so it can log into his child’s school information system and the other school sites, pull together the homework and due dates, add them to the child’s calendar, and add a reminder the day before with a link. He modelled the workflow out formally and set it running daily.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI uses his credential vault to log into the school information system and related sites
  2. It reads through the homework and due dates
  3. It adds them to the child’s calendar
  4. It adds a reminder the day before with a link
  5. The job runs daily

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent logs into the school system itself, every day, and keeps a child’s homework calendar without the parent touching it.
