This could be amazing for dealing with schools - I get information from my kids' school through like 5 different channels: Tapestry, email, a newsletter, parents WhatsApp groups (x2), Arbor, etc. etc.

And 90% of the information is not stuff I care about. The newsletter will be mostly "we've been learning about lighthouses this week" but they'll slip in "make sure your child is wearing wellies on Friday!" right at the end somewhere.

If I could feed all that into AI and have it tell me about only the things that I actually need to know that would be fantastic. I'd pay for that.

Can't happen though because all those platforms are proprietary and don't have APIs or MCP to access them.



I feel you there, although it would also be complicated by those teachers who are just bad at technology and don't use those things well too.

God bless them for teaching, but dang it someone get them to send emails and not emails with PDFs with the actual message and so on.
