I am currently experimenting with Copilot to create a multi-step agentic workflow that can assist in reviewing students’ food logs, cross-checking nutrition analysis reports, and quickly verifying calculations, while keeping the instructor in the loop for final review. I am hoping to implement it in the course next semester.

I have developed a tool that tests student knowledge in a chat about a case study.

I’m working on developing an tutor using the agent tool in Co-Pilot. I’m trying to work within Co-Pilot for obvious reasons, and it’s very basic for now. I can’t implement it this semester, but hope to do so in the Fall. So, not sure this qualifies as a concrete example just yet, but will keep you posted!
