This is a submission for the Heroku "Back to School" AI Challenge

What I Built

I developed an AI-powered back-to-school assistant designed to help students and educators start the academic year smoothly.

This app offers personalized study planning, smart schedule management, and collaboration tools to improve productivity and organization. It’s tailored to support both students aiming for academic success and educators managing classrooms more efficiently.

How I Used Heroku AI

I utilized Heroku’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to coordinate several AI agents, each responsible for specific tasks like creating schedules, sending reminders, and facilitating group collaboration.

Heroku Managed Inference and Agents provided natural language understanding and real-time assistance, enhancing the user experience.

pgvector integration with Heroku Postgres helped store and retrieve vector-based data efficiently, enabling personalized and responsive AI interactions.

Technical Implementation

The app is built on a multi-agent architecture where each agent focuses on particular classroom or student needs.

Using MCP, these agents communicate smoothly to deliver a seamless user experience.

Technical challenges included synchronizing agent workflows and maintaining quick response times regardless of device. Heroku’s cloud infrastructure assured high availability and scalability.

Thank you for considering my submission! I’m excited to contribute to smarter and more creative back-to-school experiences powered by AI.
