The problem it solves

You're constantly chasing down students who forgot an assignment was due, or scrambling to sort out grading because no one got a heads-up in time. Keeping track of every deadline across multiple classes and reminding people by hand eats up time you don't have.

Who it fits

Teachers, tutors, or school administrators managing assignment deadlines for multiple students.

How it works

  1. Every weekday morning, the system checks your Notion assignment list
  2. It looks for assignments coming due
  3. The list is broken out one assignment at a time
  4. Students and teachers each get an email reminder with the details
  5. If nothing is due, no email goes out
What you get

Students who never miss a deadline

Students and teachers each get a timely reminder email before assignments are due, straight from your Notion list.

What you get

A timely email reminder listing upcoming assignment deadlines for each student and teacher.

What you need

A Notion account with an assignments database and an email account for sending reminders.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
