My agent reads the school app and emails us a summary every day

His kids' school sends 4 to 5 messages a day through My Child At School, an app he calls a beta version of AOL Instant Messenger. He created an agent with AI that logs in to it and sends him and his wife a daily summary email.

How it works

  1. Creates an agent with AI
  2. The agent logs in to My Child At School
  3. It reads the day's school messages
  4. It sends him and his wife a daily summary email

Why it’s worth knowing

The school app is where messages go to be missed. His agent logs in like a parent would, reads 4 to 5 messages a day, and turns them into one email he and his wife actually see.
