What they did

An agent template was created for busy parents: it reads the school emails for the kids and every night sends a summary of what needs to go in the backpack, what to wear, what to sign or pay, highlighting sign-ups and deadlines.

How it went

The post presents the template, with no result figures.

Good to know

Start with read-only access: let the agent summarize, and you decide what to answer or pay.

The prompt

Every day at [time], read the new school emails for [child's name] (senders: [list]). Send me a short list: what to bring, what to wear, what to sign, what to pay and the deadlines for the next [number] days. If anything is ambiguous, flag it as "confirm".

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?
