17 AI Agents that help educators combat burnout

Education professionals have the highest burnout rate of any occupation in the United States, according to Gallup. K–12 workers hold the top spot, and higher education personnel trail closely behind. Additional research from 2024 found that excessive workloads are a top factor in these results.

Jotform specializes in streamlining tasks and reducing workloads — and our new Education AI Agents take automation even further, providing relief for one of the world’s most vital industries.

More than 700 Education AI Agents are now available in Jotform’s AI Agent directory. AI Agents can collect data, answer questions, grade interactive quizzes, and more via text or voice conversations. Plus, agents can take action — teach yours to trigger Jotform Workflows, deliver emails, provide reference material, send data to third-party platforms, or master other Jotform automations.

Train each AI Agent with straightforward, no-code tools, and your organization will have an assistant that’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Providing this benefit for teachers, staff, students, and parents is likely easier than you think. As with all Jotform products, our engineers have done the heavy lifting, providing a cost-effective, scalable solution for every type of educational organization.

Real-time support

Educators want to help students learn, but a lot of questions that aren’t related to the subject at hand can interrupt lessons and become overwhelming. Real-time support can provide instant relief.

We don’t mean hiring additional staff. What if those questions could be answered by an AI Agent or chatbot?

Jotform’s Student Information Sheet AI Agent gathers information about students through a conversation. Teachers don’t have to take class time to make sure they have the right contact info for students and parents, and students and parents don’t have to fill out a long, boring form.

Additionally, Jotform’s Tutor Appointment AI Agent provides an easy way to make an appointment with a tutor. This ensures that every student gets the help they need without having to ask instructors about scheduling an appointment.

Simply supply the AI Agent with website links, files, and instructions, or train it via conversation in the AI Agent Builder.

How you share your agent is up to you. Create an interactive chatbot on your website, share it as a direct link, or create an AI Agent mobile app that students and parents can save on any device. Jotform also offers phone and voice AI Agents as well as a WhatsApp AI Agent.

Automate administration

From the classroom to the school board, AI Agents can help. Jotform offers a host of agents that can reduce the strain on administrators, led by the School Administrator AI Agent. Train your agent to answer frequently asked questions from parents and students as it collects registration information for you.

The Student Services Coordinator AI Agent goes beyond registration and enrollment, offering round-the-clock assistance for any question related to administrative services, such as academic advising and counseling.

Jotform’s School Board Application AI Agent can streamline new board member applications. You can customize agents in the Agent Designer within the Agent Builder, ensuring brand compatibility with your organization.

Data collection and management

From permission slips to class registration and more, schools rely on data. Several Education AI Agents are prepared to collect general student data as well as data for after-school programs.

Jotform’s Registration AI Agent can answer any question a student has during the registration process while it collects registration information. The data is automatically stored in your Jotform account.

Tired of scrambling for permission slips? Jotform’s Parent Permission AI Agent can handle the task of securing permission and storing vital data in your Jotform account where it’s easy to view and manage.

For simple and versatile data collection, Jotform’s Student Data Collection AI Agent is ready to go. You can update the student data-collection form attached to the agent in the Form Builder so you get the exact data you’re looking for.

Organizations can keep AI Agents internal with Jotform Enterprise. Simply mark the agent as private to require login credentials for access.

Instant feedback

It takes a team of parents, teachers, and other educational staff to ensure each student is in a position to thrive. Students benefit when their parents, administrators, and teachers can easily communicate with each other.

But answering emails or phone calls about each student is time-consuming. Jotform’s Parent Feedback AI Agent seamlessly collects feedback and stores parent input automatically. This agent can handle feedback for the entire school as well, including about safety and security measures on campus or working conditions for teachers and administrators.

The Teacher Evaluation AI Agent fields feedback from students, parents, and/or administrators.

Teachers can provide feedback too. The Teacher Satisfaction AI Agent eases the burden of collecting feedback, allowing principals and administrators to focus on making improvements.

When students want to have their say, Jotform’s Student Survey AI Agent can help administrators in high schools, colleges, and universities gather feedback and gain insight on potential new courses to add to the curriculum.

Quiz workflows

Quizzing students on essential learning points is a staple at every education level. But historically each quiz comes with a stack of paper to distribute, collect, and grade. Save time by improving your quiz workflow with an AI Agent.

Jotform’s Quiz AI Agent is designed to engage participants in a fun, fresh way, potentially alleviating test-time nerves among students. The agent asks questions the class instructor provides ahead of time and gives instant feedback — keeping students engaged and automatically tabulating scores.

Jotform offers several subject-specific quizzes, including a Vocabulary Quiz AI Agent, a Biology Quiz AI Agent, a History Quiz AI Agent, a Mini Math Quiz AI Agent, and a Spelling Quiz AI Agent. To ensure your AI Agent has the expertise to guide students, train your agent via chat to refine its responses. Also, add URLs and PDFs to its knowledge base so students have appropriate resources.

You can create smarter AI Agents with Jotform Enterprise, as there’s no limit to the amount of data you can add to an agent’s knowledge base. Jotform Enterprise also provides unlimited agent creation, unlimited agent sessions, and more.

Personalized learning

Teachers strive to provide personalized instruction for each of their students. But it’s impossible to offer students assistance 24 hours a day.

Educators can use the Homework Assistant Chatbot AI Agent to provide anytime, personalized support for students outside the classroom. This agent is built to take action when a student is in need: If the student expresses frustration, the assistant will ask what material is confusing; if the student says they’re interested in working with a tutor, the assistant can make an appointment; if the student wants pointers on specific homework tasks, like creating a presentation, the assistant can play a video how-to session installed by the instructor.

It’s also key to check in with students regarding their mental health. Jotform’s Student Well-Being AI Agent can collect valuable information from students about their emotional and mental health. This can be a valuable tool for school counselors or any educator who wants to support students.

Just as with every Jotform AI Agent, the data and conversations from this agent are stored in your Jotform account. You’ll learn what’s on your students’ minds in real time by providing access to the well-being agent 24 hours a day.

Closing thoughts

Considering high burnout rates in the education sector, it should be no surprise that the National Center for Education Statistics reports nearly 90 percent of K–12 schools have difficulty hiring new teachers. Additionally, 83 percent of those schools struggle to fill non-teacher positions such as classroom aides and mental health experts.

With Jotform AI Agents, you can get ahead of the burnout curve, providing an easier way for teachers, administrators, and more to do what they love: help students thrive. With fewer repetitive tasks to do, education professionals can provide the human-to-human guidance that students need to be successful.
