Email Action Items

Needs Response

  • Moraima DiMare (Feb 26): “travel expenses February” — needs Egencia Southwest receipt ($530), travel justification, and confirmation on $206.82 charge. Overdue — respond today.
  • Thomas Steinman / Flint (Feb 27): Cold outreach from EdTech sales rep. “I am going through some conversations that fizzled.” Low priority — likely a sales pitch. Can ignore or send polite decline.

Needs Action

  • AI Infrastructure RFP (Isabelle, Feb 27): k12-ai-infrastructure.org RFP for AI infrastructure including datasets and benchmarks. Deadline March 8. Review and decide if relevant.
  • Christine Bywater (Feb 26): Two calendar holds for Lake Forest AI Literacy workshops. Dates TBD. FYI — already tracking in action items.

FYI / No Action

  • Gregory Wilson: Accepted Build-a-Bot facilitator training invite (Tue Mar 3 2pm). Confirmed.
  • Priya Talreja: Health Coach Bot meeting rescheduled — confirmed Tue Mar 3 9am.
  • Jennifer Osuna: “Sounds good, thanks! I will check out the FAQ.” — re: Legal 101 follow-up. No action needed.
  • Ishita Kumar / GSE: AI Safety session postponed (was Mar 2, now TBD). FYI.
  • Karin Forssell: Google Doc comment on AI Tinkery doc. Low priority.
  • Keith Bowen: Stanford Learning Design Challenge pitch resources. FYI.

Newsletters (scan headlines)

  • The Batch (Feb 27): Gemini leads, investors panic over agentic AI, optimism at global AI summit, local vs. cloud
  • TLDR AI (Feb 27): Google Nano Banana 2, xAI cofounder departs, Anthropic vs DoW

Overdue

Claude-ToDo (Mobile Capture)

  • Look at: https://github.com/EncyclopediaWorld/howaiworks — explore for potential workshop/Flash Lab use?

From Inbox Processing

INBOX.md is empty — nothing to process.

Tomorrow’s Preview (Tuesday, March 3)

Big day — 3 back-to-back work meetings:

Time Event Prep
7:30 AM Jonathan DMV driving test Personal — morning partially blocked
9:00 AM Build-A-Bot Health Coach (Marily, Michele, Priya) Review coach.bot101.app. Prep research direction questions. Strategic — validates BaB as research tool + dean connection.
11:00 AM AS:DE Meeting (Josh, Joe) Weekly team meeting
2:00 PM Build-a-Bot Facilitator Training (Gregory Wilson) First walkthrough — review facilitator materials. Goal 3 deliverable.
6:30 PM Civil Air Patrol Jonathan

Today’s Priorities

No meetings = deep work day. Protect it.

  1. LabGPT condition guardrails — Build Critic vs. Co-designer system prompts before Cathy’s study runs Wednesday. This is the most time-sensitive technical work.
  2. Reply to Moraima — pull Egencia receipts, write travel justification, confirm $206.82 charge. 3+ weeks overdue. 30 minutes.
  3. Tomorrow prep — review coach.bot101.app (Health Coach Bot), review Build-a-Bot facilitator materials (Gregory training). Both meetings are tomorrow.
  4. Book Stanford trip (March 29 – April 1) — flights + hotel. Don’t repeat the late-booking mistake.
  5. Review AI Infrastructure RFP — deadline March 8. Quick scan to decide if it’s relevant.

If Time Permits

  • Export Colombia chatbot data for Ana (1 hour)
  • Check the two Claude-ToDo mobile captures (howaiworks repo, metarpilot)
