Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Grade assignments and return feedback

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to gather submitted papers, projects, lab work, and other class assignments, apply your rubric, and draft grades and feedback comments for your review. You get a cleaned-up gradebook update and a return packet for students, while you decide any borderline marks, integrity concerns, or accommodation questions yourself.

Where you stay involved

You review the suggested grades and comments, resolve any difficult cases, and release the final marks to students.

Review level: Medium

2

Prepare information for exams and check integrity

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to assemble exam items, prepare attendance and response sheets, and score objective sections after the test is completed. You get a scored exam set and a list of any missing or unusual submissions, while you decide whether any answer key issue, appeal, or suspected misconduct needs your attention.

Where you stay involved

You oversee the exam session, review the scoring, and make the final call on any disputed or questionable case.

Review level: High

3

Update course materials and syllabus

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to compare your current syllabus and course materials with recent literature, colleague notes, and your own course outcomes, then draft updated handouts, homework outlines, and resource lists. You get a revised course packet ready for review, while you decide what stays, what changes, and whether any course-level approval is needed.

Where you stay involved

You review the draft materials, choose the final content, and approve any changes that affect the course or department.

Review level: Medium

Documentation and coordination support

AI can assist without owning the physical outcome

These support steps are shown separately. They do not count as agentic workflows and do not increase this occupation's score.

Log committee actions and follow-ups

Use an agent to turn committee notes, agenda items, and follow-up emails into a tracked action list with owners, due dates, and current status. You get a tidy record of what was decided and what still needs attention, while you decide how to handle policy, budget, personnel, or other matters that need a person’s judgment.

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.
