Agentic AI: Practical Applications for District Efficiency

Popular AI tools like ChatGPT, CoPilot, and Gemini are widely adopted for their promise to do work faster with less effort, yet they currently create an average of 8.4% more work for schools. So how do you use the power of AI to truly free up staff time and effort for the most critical, human-only work needed to create great schools? In this 45-minute session, we move beyond basic chatbots to explore Agentic AI—autonomous models that independently read files, call tools, and interact with existing systems to get work done behind the scenes. You’ll see real-world agents currently helping schools in NJ and beyond as we demystify how to build agentic workflows and custom solutions that fit your district's specific needs. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for identifying repetitive administrative burdens and the technical insight needed to design agentic solutions that protect their budget and maximize their most valuable resource: their staff.
