Connecting Files to Agents

🔗 Why Connecting Files Is Essential

• ✅ Ensures agents respond with school-specific information

• ✅ Powers accurate answers based on curriculum, policies, and schedules

• ✅ Supports case-based learning, rubric-aligned feedback, and administrative clarity

• ✅ Prevents generic or vague responses by grounding the agent in real documents

📁 How to Connect Files to an Agent

1. Go to the AI Agents tab

   • Select the agent you want to configure

2. Click “Connect Knowledge” or “Attach Documents”

   • This opens a panel showing your Knowledge Base folders

3. Select Relevant Folders or Files

   • Choose folders that match the agent’s role:

     • Curriculum agents → “Year 9 Science Curriculum”

     • Admin agents → “School Policies”, “Event Calendar”

     • Student support agents → “Homework Guidelines”, “Assessment Rubrics”

4. Save and Test

   • Once connected, test the agent by asking questions that reference the uploaded content

   • Example: “What’s the late submission policy for Year 10?”

🧠 Best Practices

• ✅ Connect only relevant folders to each agent to avoid confusion

• ✅ Use descriptive folder names so you can easily identify them during setup

• ✅ Update connections when documents are revised or new ones are added

• ✅ Test agent responses regularly to ensure the right documents are being referenced

💡 Example Scenario

Agent: “Homework Helper”
Connected Folder: “Year 10 Homework Policy”

Student Query: “What happens if I submit my homework late?”

Agent Response: “According to the Year 10 Homework Policy, assignments submitted more than 3 days late require a parent note and may affect participation grades.”
