1️⃣ Start a Chat with an Existing Agent

  • Navigate to the Home or AI Agents tab.

  • Select an agent from the list (e.g., “THS Helper”, “Math Mentor”).

  • Click “Start Chat” to simulate real-world queries.

  • Try asking:

    • “What’s the school uniform policy?”

    • “When is the next PTA meeting?”

    • “What topics are covered in Term 2 Science?”

💡 Use this step to test tone, accuracy, and document referencing.


2️⃣ Upload a School Document to the Knowledge Base

  • Go to the Knowledge Base tab.

  • Click “Upload” and select a file (PDF, Word, image).

  • Organize files into folders by subject or function (e.g., “Curriculum”, “Admin”, “Student Life”).

  • Connect the folder to your agent to enable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

📁 Tip: Keep file names clear and concise, like “Year 10 Homework Policy.pdf”.


3️⃣ Create a Simple Agent with a Name and Description

  • Go to AI Agents → Click “Create New Agent”.

  • Choose a descriptive name (e.g., “Science Buddy”, “Campus Guide”).

  • Write a short description:

    “Science Buddy is an AI agent designed to help Year 7 students with science questions and homework in a friendly tone.”

🧠 You can refine the system prompt later for deeper customization.
