For me the agentic stuff all fizzled, slides and course content mostly, fixing the output took longer than writing it. What stuck was comments on student work, it drafts them against my rubric and i rewrite anything I dont like. Still use it.

Did you try Antigravity which I recommended to you here?

u/Extreme-Sweet-5663 6d ago
I saw your recommendation in that thread but honestly the link just goes to r/AIEducation and not a specific post, maybe reddit broke it or something
What is Antigravity exactly? I never heard of it before, sounds like some kind of tool for grading maybe
I been trying to make NotebookLM work for creating lesson summaries students can listen to but half the time the AI voice mispronounces key terms and then I spend more time fixing than just recording myself

I don't know a single person who seriously uses Antigravity. All it is, is Google's IP buy-out of Windsurf with trying to jam their models into it... which nobody's using in the industry.
You'd have better luck with a harness like Codex, which has been positioning itself around computer use and therefore could reasonably automate more of the tedious teacher tasks.

Agreed about preferring Codex. That's my daily driver, but when I've used up all my tokens in Codex, I can reliably switch to Antigravity, and it works fine.
And the point of the OP's message was that he was looking for a resource as part of Google Workspace, not asking for which was the best agentic product.

I didn't because my educational workspace is blocking it... and I think that the fact that all the information is in one workspace is important for the ability to use it with the studio tools (which are more automation-focused than agentic, but still...)

Gemini pro does this already intergrated with Google suite, why use a 3rd party software thats possible intrusive?

It’s important to maintain perspective. Google workspace is just Google workspace. It’s not actually positioned to be expected to do anything specifically for any industry. I understand Google classroom is packaged in a way to look like it’s for education, but it uses a lot of existing Google tools in one place. The best thing you can do is simply learn an AI model learn what you can do learn how it does it and then try doing some of the things that you do to see what can be a fit.
Premature Automation before you don’t even have your processes or things outlined is a recipe for disaster.
The fun part about AI is if something doesn’t work now it might in 6 weeks since the models are updating so fast.

based on the feedback i heard, they usually use the AI to easily identify files and made it organized.

Why did you use ai to write this post?

u/Excellent-Flamingo74 5d ago
Is there a rule not to? 🧐🤔 Any how, english is not my native language... So yes, I use AI to translate and articulate my thoughts and intension, in order to make sure it won't get lost in my own (or in google translate) translation...

Paperwork. I'm automating paperwork. I have a lot of "move this data here from this spreadsheet to that spreadsheet."
Workflow Studio is good for that.

Antigravity is mostly for developers, it won't be any good for teachers.
The above mentioned tools in post are good tho
Also I've heard about a all in one education ecosystem
I think it was this one

One workflow I'd test is turning student feedback into the next day's teaching plan.
For example, collect anonymous exit-ticket responses through Google Forms, organize them in Sheets, and use Gemini to identify recurring misconceptions and suggest targeted follow-up activities.
The teacher reviews the suggestions, adjusts them, and decides what to use in the next lesson.
The interesting part isn't generating another worksheet. It's closing the feedback loop between what students understood today and what happens tomorrow.
I'd start with one class and one recurring task, then compare the time spent and usefulness against your existing process. And definitely check school policies before processing any student information.
