School administrators and staff navigate a sea of information daily. Student records, extracurricular, academic and wellbeing data together tell the story of a student’s journey through the institution. We have more data points than ever, but now the challenge is making sense of it all.

Today, we’re introducing a breakthrough: the first AI agent designed specifically for the school environment. Combining the latest developments in generative AI with robust security, and deep interconnections with your school's most important systems, our agent transforms the way school staff access, analyze, and react to student data.

This technology represents a step-change for efficiency in schools, and we’re excited to show a little of what we’ve built.

With August Intelligence, users can interact each with their own personal assistants.

What is an agent?

Traditional software works by direct command — you click a button for something to happen, or ask for a representative on a phone chain. An agent by contrast understands and interprets natural human language to complete complex, multi-step tasks. Agents can retrieve information, answer nuanced questions, and take actions based on sophisticated reasoning. With visibility across data sources, agents discover connections that might otherwise go unnoticed. You can think of it as your personal assistant, embedded in the systems you're already using day-to-day.

Superpowers

What distinguishes agents from chatbots is the agent’s ability to interact with the wider information ecosystem and engage other tools to solve problems. AI is particularly suited for certain problems and use cases, many of which are highly relevant to schools.

Synthesis and pattern recognition

AI excels at distilling large amounts of unstructured information from multiple sources into pithy, actionable synthesis. Access to student records is the basis of our school agent. Our agent can retrieve information about students and synthesize what it learns to answer questions.

Our agent dissects free-form comments, narrative notes from practitioners and other unstructured information to yield insights unseen in the hard data.

Assistant uncovers students at risk.

Anything captured in data: a grade, an absence, even a teacher comment on a report card can be used by AI to develop rich understanding.

Today, if an administrator is preparing for a meeting with a student’s family, they might need to look at several systems and talk to leaders across functions to uncover academic performance, activities, attendance, learning supports etc. Instead ask August Intelligence to summarize how a student is doing, and let AI do the research project on your behalf.

Writing and productivity

AI is also a strong writer. Armed with student and institutional context, August Intelligence helps draft letters home, complex plans, internal protocols and more. Drawing from encounter histories, the agent can instantly compose a note to parents or teachers and even locate contact information and send an e-mail for you.

Compose and send an email to the parents of the student of concern.

Soon entire workflows that currently require clicking buttons, pulling reports, sending messages and setting alerts will be replaced by communicating your goal with your AI assistant.

Policy adherence

School staff is tasked with aligning with complex policies and guidelines. Your school might have a mission statement, a policy handbook, a restorative justice framework and more. August Intelligence lets leadership seed their staff’s personal assistant with the correct guidelines and policies so that they can be referenced, questioned, summarized and actioned on when an important case arises.

Here August Intelligence has identified incidents that violate important policies:

Assistant identifying incidents of policy violations.

The assistant then drafts an email with the specific incident and policy as context:

Assistant makes a rough draft about a policy breach.

Then with a simple prompt a second draft is created that better explains the underlying policy:

Assistant revises the policy email to more explicitly reference the policy at hand.

General knowledge

Our agent was trained on around 45TB of data, which includes many books and articles, internet pages, and the entirety of Wikipedia. Our agent relies on this experience to answer any general information question.

This knowledge base also includes specialist material. Our agent can reason about symptoms presenting in the clinic and provide additional context. Behavioral health standards like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are summoned easily and important school frameworks like CASEL can be synthesized with a simple prompt:

Assistant summarizes the CASEL framework for social emotional learning.

We're just getting started

This is only the beginning. August Intelligence is already transforming how schools interact with their data, but we see even more possibilities ahead. We're continuously expanding the agent’s capabilities, giving it new tools, deeper integrations, and more ways to take action on behalf of school staff. From automating workflows to enhancing decision-making, our AI agent is built to support the people who support students.

But the most exciting part? We’re still discovering what’s possible. Schools are complex, dynamic environments, and we want to hear from educators, administrators, and school leaders about the biggest challenges they face. If there’s a way AI can help, we want to build it. August Intelligence isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about reimagining what’s possible in student support.
