The problem it solves

Taking attendance by hand or chasing down who checked in and when takes time away from your teaching day. Without a shared, instant record, you often find out about absences or late arrivals long after it matters.

Who it fits

Schools or training centers wanting a simple digital attendance system for teachers.

How it works

  1. A student checks in through a mobile app or QR code
  2. The check-in details are cleaned up and formatted
  3. The record is saved as a new row in Google Sheets
  4. An email notification is sent to the class teacher right away
What you get

Teachers notified the instant a student arrives

You get an instant record of every student check-in and a notification to the teacher the moment it happens.

What you get

An up-to-date attendance log and an instant email alert to the teacher for every check-in.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an email sending service.

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.
