Why Naming Matters

Clarity: A descriptive name sets expectations for what the agent can help with.
Connection: A friendly or playful name can make younger users feel more comfortable.
Consistency: Naming conventions help organize multiple agents across departments.

Tips for Naming Your Agent

✅ Be Descriptive
Use names that reflect the agent’s role, like:
- “THS Helper” for general school support
- “Math Mentor” for subject-specific guidance
- “Campus Guide” for admissions or orientation
❌ Avoid Vague Names
Names like “School Bot” or “Info Agent” don’t communicate purpose clearly.
🎯 Consider Your Audience
- For primary students, use friendly or playful names like “Learning Buddy” or “Shape Explorer”
- For staff, use professional names like “Policy Assistant” or “Admin Desk”
- For parents, use approachable names like “Parent Portal Assistant”
