How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into your own agent or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Assistant mode: compile homework turn-ins into one report. Log every action, prefer reversible steps, and ask before emailing, paying, or deleting.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
