Services · Mobile app development · Education AI agents
Our education AI agent development Manchester service gives school business managers, exams officers, college admissions teams and trust leaders agents that take on defined, repeatable work. They answer course and admissions questions across Greater Manchester's borough boundaries, check exam timetables for clashes, coordinate employer placements, prepare absence letters and draft feedback for teachers to approve. Every agent reads only what it needs, keeps a record and passes sensitive matters to a member of staff.
We do not build pupil facing tutors here. These agents sit behind the scenes with staff, so the people who know your learners spend less time on forms, chasing and repetition, and more time on the decisions only they can make.

Agents for Manchester staff
Greater Manchester is ten local authorities working together through the Combined Authority, and families regularly cross borough lines for school and college. A Year 11 student in Salford might apply to a sixth form in Trafford and a college in the city centre. Trafford still runs selective grammar school admissions, while neighbouring boroughs do not. Colleges across the city region offer T Levels, apprenticeships and adult courses alongside A levels, and the Combined Authority has pushed hard on technical routes into local industries. That mix creates a large volume of near identical questions and paperwork for staff. The agents below are the ones Manchester settings most often want. We help you choose the first one by looking at where staff hours actually go across the year. Several can share the same knowledge store, so a second agent is quicker to add than the first.
Parents in Greater Manchester apply through their home council even when the school is in another borough. The agent explains that rule, your own admissions criteria and where each borough publishes its scheme, using the documents you load for the current round, and refers anything about a particular child to your admissions lead.
Families from neighbouring boroughs stop applying through the wrong council.
For colleges and sixth forms, the agent answers questions about A levels, T Levels, vocational courses and apprenticeships from your prospectus, explains entry requirements, books open event and interview slots and records each enquiry in your admissions system.
Prospective students get a clear answer the evening they are deciding, not three days later.
T Level students need a substantial industry placement, and finding and tracking employers takes time. The agent keeps the employer list, drafts outreach and reminder emails for staff to send, tracks hours and paperwork, and flags placements at risk to the placement coordinator.
Placement coordinators see which students still need a placement at a glance.
From board timetables, entries and rooms, the agent finds candidates with clashes, access arrangement needs that affect rooms, and invigilation gaps, then drafts the candidate timetables your exams officer checks and issues.
Clashes are found in March rather than on the morning of the paper.
Using attendance data from your management information system, the agent prepares letters for each stage of your attendance policy and a weekly list of pupils whose attendance has dropped, for your attendance lead to review. It sends nothing with legal effect on its own.
The attendance lead acts on patterns earlier with letters already drafted.
For practice and homework tasks, teachers ask the agent for draft comments against the success criteria. For non examination assessment, the agent is configured to stay out of the student's work entirely, following JCQ rules on AI misuse and your centre's policy.
Teachers save time on routine feedback without putting qualifications at risk.
The agent tracks each application from enquiry to enrolment, chases missing references and predicted grades, and reminds applicants about interview and enrolment days. Admissions staff see a single, current list instead of several spreadsheets.
Fewer applicants drop out because nobody followed up.
The agent works inside the parent app, email inbox or text system you already use. It drafts replies on uniform, dates, clubs and lunches from your published information, translates where needed and passes behaviour, complaint and safeguarding messages directly to staff.
Parents get consistent answers without a new app to download.
Schools and colleges hold records for set periods under their retention schedule. The agent lists files due for review or disposal, explains which rule applies and prepares a schedule for your data protection lead to approve, so nothing is kept longer than it should be.
Data protection housekeeping happens on schedule instead of after a breach scare.
In August, colleges and sixth forms in Manchester take calls from students whose grades differ from what they expected. The agent explains your entry requirements and course alternatives, collects results and contact details, and books a call with an adviser, so the phone queue on results day is shorter and no student is turned away by a machine.
Advisers spend results week on conversations that change outcomes.
Who this is for
The best first agent in Manchester depends on whether you are a school dealing with parents, a college juggling applicants and employers, or a trust trying to make several schools work the same way. Below are the four teams we most often speak to. Each one has a different owner for the agent and a different measure of success, which we agree before any build work starts.
Colleges offering T Levels, apprenticeships and adult courses carry a heavy load of enquiries, placements and compliance paperwork. Combining the course enquiry agent with placement coordination means applicants, employers and staff all get faster answers. We keep funding eligibility, learner support and visa questions with your advisers, because those depend on individual circumstances. Placement data can also feed the reports your quality team prepares.
Employer contacts stay in your CRM, owned by the college.
Exams officers run complex seasons with a small team. The clash checker and candidate timetable drafts take out the manual cross checking, and a question agent answers staff and candidate queries about rules and arrangements from the JCQ documents and your centre policy. The exams officer approves every timetable and decides every access arrangement. Invigilator rotas and room plans can be drafted the same way, ready for checking.
When a trust spans Manchester, Oldham and Tameside, for example, each school deals with a different council. We build one platform with separate data and documents for each academy, common trust policies, role based access and reports for the central team, so practice is consistent and no pupil data crosses between schools. Central staff can compare request volumes across academies to spot where support is needed.
Each academy can switch an agent off without affecting the others.
A small office team often handles admissions, dinner money queries, clubs, attendance and visitors at once. A single parent query agent that drafts replies from your website and letters, with a quick approval screen, can give those staff back real time each day. It is small to set up and easy to switch off if it does not suit you. Many Manchester primaries share a business manager across a cluster, and the same agent can be copied to each school with its own documents.
How we work together
Schools usually start with a fixed scope agent and a support period after launch. Colleges and trusts often prefer a phased programme, adding agents and integrations over the academic year. For larger change, some take a dedicated team. As an education AI agent development company Manchester clients work with remotely, we run discovery, testing and reviews by video call. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. We hand over documentation and admin training so your own staff can update sources and rules between our reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We fit the agent to the systems you already run: SIMS, Arbor or Bromcom in schools, college student records and CRM systems, and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for staff. Hosting and model choices follow your data protection officer's requirements, including UK hosting where needed. Staff reach the agents through Teams, email or a simple web console.

Choosing one staff task, connecting the data it needs and building in approvals.
For most Manchester colleges the first agent handles course enquiries or placement coordination, because both create high volumes of similar work at predictable times of year. We map the current process with your staff, connect the agent to your prospectus and student records in read only mode where possible, set approval routes and test with real but anonymised cases. The plan and its milestones are written down before build work starts. We also agree how staff will report a poor answer, because those reports drive the first round of fixes.
