If something truly matters, we’ll carve out time—even in the busiest schedules. But when there’s a mismatch between what we say we want and what we actually make time for, that’s a signal of misalignment. Image From PJ Milani | Visual Teacher💡

AI agents follow instructions; agentic AI sets its own goals. In education, that’s the leap from a digital helper to a true learning partner—one that adapts, plans, and personalizes in real time. #AgenticAI #AIAgents

AI agents need at least two trips to the LLM: 1️⃣ First to do the task. 2️⃣ Second to check if it’s done. If done ✅ → format & return. If not ❌ → refine prompt & retry. This loop is what makes agents feel smart. #yorklearns #AIAgent #Googleagentspace
