What they did

Every month his wife sorted by hand 12 PDFs of supplementary material, worksheets and readings, some around 100 pages long. He uploaded them to Claude Cowork and described the routine: which subjects on which days and how long per block. The agent spread the content across a 12-day plan.

How it went

A complete plan came out, which the family reviewed and adjusted.

Good to know

Tell the agent the child's real pace; a plan that looks too good is usually too long.

The prompt

I've attached [number] materials for [subjects]. Build a schedule of [days] school days, with [subjects per day] and blocks of up to [minutes], indicating the page or file for each activity. Leave a review day at the end.

Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).

Summary in our own words. Results as stated in the original account; we have not tested or audited them. Read the source ↗ Case found via agentusecases.ai (Alex Finn); text and prompt rewritten by us. Found a mistake?
