The outcomes

What you'll get

The AI turns your current grades into a clear roadmap for your remaining work.

TARGETS

Required exam scores

The AI uses calculate_required_grade to tell you the exact percentage needed on a specific test. You'll know exactly what to aim for.

SCENARIOS

Grade projections

Ask your agent how different scores on upcoming work will change your final grade. This helps you decide how much to study for each task.

BASES

Current standing

Your AI calculates your current weighted average from the grades you provide. This serves as the starting point for all future math.

HUMAN

Syllabus verification

You must check your course syllabus to confirm the weights are correct. The AI only works with the numbers you give it.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the weighted math so you don't have to.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my grades in my school portal?

    No. The AI only reads the data you provide to perform math. It cannot access or change your official school records.

  • 02

    Does it work if I don't know the weight of my assignments?

    No. You must provide the weight for each assignment so the AI can calculate a weighted average.

  • 03

    Can it handle extra credit?

    Yes, as long as you include the extra credit assignments and their weights in the data you give the AI.

  • 04

    Will the AI automatically update my grades when I get a new score?

    No. You need to provide the new scores to your AI client so it can recalculate your standing.

  • 05

    Can it account for a grade curve?

    No. The tool only performs standard weighted average calculations. It doesn't know your instructor's specific curving rules.
