Where agents can help most

  1. 1

Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Prepare information for assessments and record grades

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to gather the syllabus, rubric, exam roster, attendance sheet, and student submissions, then prepare a grading worksheet, total scores, and a list of missing work or score mismatches. It can also draft notes on suspected integrity issues for your review so you can decide final grades and any follow-up.

Where you stay involved

You check the scores, review any flagged problems, and decide whether a missing submission, late work, or suspected misconduct needs a manual correction or a separate academic process.

Review level: High

2

Update lectures from student feedback

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to collect short student feedback, recent assignment patterns, and your lesson notes, then summarize where students seemed lost and draft revised examples, practice questions, or pacing notes for the next class. It gives you a practical update packet you can choose to adopt or adjust.

Where you stay involved

You decide which examples to change, what to keep, and whether the revised material still matches the course goals before you teach it again.

Review level: Medium

3

Track research and teaching sources

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to scan recent papers, conference programs, colleague emails, and reading lists, then build an annotated bibliography of items that may help your teaching or research. It can also draft a short list of topics for class examples, seminars, or possible collaboration so you can decide what is worth pursuing.

Where you stay involved

You decide which sources are actually relevant, verify the citations, and choose whether to use a topic in class or discuss it further with colleagues.

Review level: Low

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
