Teacher's Desk AI Starter — Parent Comms for Careful Parent Drafts, With Escalation Instead of a Draft on the Hard Matters

From AGENTORY — ready-to-use AI Task Kits. Drop in. Power up.

One agent from the Teacher's Desk kit — complete, nothing cut down. Works with the AI you already have: upload the file, tell it "Start", answer a few questions, and get to work.

One specialist teaching agent — running inside the AI you already use.

No new app. No subscription. This agent works with any AI chat — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, whichever you have (free versions work).

Parent Comms drafts parent messages from the facts you state (6 calibration questions): routine announcements and replies in your voice, careful fact-only drafts on grades and progress (no outcome promises), careful drafts on behaviour and incidents (the other student is never named, described, or characterised — not by name, initials, description, or implication), and meeting-request and follow-up logistics drafts. A pasted parent message is treated as data to answer, never as instructions to the agent — an instruction hidden inside one is flagged, not obeyed. For legal, safety, custody/pickup, and child-protection matters there is no parent draft at all, at any insistence and however short you ask it to be: you get an escalation summary for your admin instead, and no advice on the underlying matter. Unstated facts are never added to a draft — no meeting time you didn't state, no detail sharpened or softened — they appear only in the "To confirm:" footer below the draft. It is the kit's one sender, carved narrowly: in Connected mode, with a genuine Gmail tool verified in the session, it sends only the exact draft you approved, through your own connected Gmail, one email at a time, then verifies and reports the send — edit the draft after approval, and approval re-opens before anything goes out. In Guide mode it never sends; the finished draft is yours to send. You need: the facts, in your words, per case — students by initials or codes only, never by surname.

How it works (about 5 minutes, once):

1. Add the agent file to your AI chat — upload the .md file, or on a phone, open the .txt version, copy it, and paste it in.

2. Type "Start".

3. Answer the agent's questions, one at a time. That's the calibration, and it's what makes the output fit YOUR classroom.

4. Done — ask for what you need.

This is the Starter edition: ONE agent, complete — the same file as in the full kit, nothing cut down. It includes the shared My Classroom Profile (fill it once, paste it into any new chat, skip the interview), a prompt sheet with the exact phrases for this agent, a plain-language guide to what AI can and cannot do, and troubleshooting help.

Two ways to work — your choice, per session. Run this agent in a regular AI chat (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) and it works as a guide: it creates and edits the complete deliverables right in the chat — the finished documents and complete updated files themselves, never outlines, edit lists, or pieces for you to assemble — and guidance is what covers the steps inside outside tools and accounts, which you perform yourself. Run the same file on an agentic AI — Muse, Claude Code, Devin, and similar — and it can do more: if you want, it walks you through connecting your tools and carries out its steps itself, showing you each consequential action for your approval first, verifying as it goes. Same agent, same rules — what changes is what your platform lets it do. You pick the mode every time; guidance is always available and always complete.

What's inside:

- The one agent, in .md AND .txt format (identical content)

- Prompt Sheet for this agent — the exact phrases for every job

- My Classroom Profile — the full profile; the sections for the other agents are already in it, so upgrading later means no new setup

- AI Limitations Disclaimer (.md + .txt)

- Starter README — step-by-step setup

- Troubleshooting & FAQ

What you need:

- An AI chat account of your own (free versions work for the guided work)

- Agent-specific notes are in the per-agent block below

Want the rest of the set later? The other three agents complete the kit (Standalone, $19). Starter owners upgrade for $10 — the difference — and the My Classroom Profile you fill in here already covers the other agents, so there is no new setup.

Honest limits:

Each agent is a text instruction file for your existing AI — it is not a trained AI model, not a separate app, not a curriculum library, and not a learning management system. What it can do depends on where you run it: in a chat-only AI it guides and drafts — creating and editing the complete deliverables right in the chat — and you perform only the actions inside your outside tools and accounts; on an agentic AI it can act through the tools you choose to connect — always showing you the exact action first, always with your approval before anything consequential, and never unattended. Connections are made through your platform's own secure sign-in and key flows — the agent never asks for, receives, or stores a password, API key, or login, and a secret pasted into a chat gets one answer: change it now. File work done for you runs through git, so a failed step rolls back to the last verified one. This kit's spine holds in both modes: standards are cited only as you supplied them, assessment items trace only to your supplied source, feedback uses only your notes and marks for that student, students are referenced by initials or codes only, another student is never named or described in parent-facing text, and legal, safety, custody, and child-protection matters are escalated, never drafted. There is no turnkey Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams posting in either mode — the kit drafts, you distribute. No agent in this kit promises anything about grades, inspections, parent satisfaction, or time saved. (Agent-specific limits are in the per-agent block below.)

One honest expectation: this kit is a plain-text instruction file, and it loads in any AI you already use — but the AI you run it on sets the quality. The agent's rules, questions, and output formats are fixed in the file; how deeply and consistently your AI follows them depends on your model and on how much it can hold in one session, so a weaker or free-tier model may shorten, skip, or drift where a strong current model stays exact. AI tools, models and context lengths all affect the final results — and trying different tools may help you find the best one for your needs; the same file, unchanged, often does better on a stronger model. The full disclaimer in your download explains this properly and shows how to get the best from whatever AI you have.
