Free agent · Local-first

An agent for the meetings, the paperwork, and the words.

IEP Agent is a free assistant that runs on your own computer and helps you build and keep your child's IEP: the about-me picture, the goals, the support team, your notes, and a one-page brief for every meeting. No accounts. Nothing leaves the house unless you say so.

Free for everyone. Source-available on GitHub, built on Hermes Agent, runs on your machine or a local model.
My plan page PRINTED STRENGTHS FIRST MY BIG GOAL DAILY WINS IEP Agent on your machine Before Thursday, what should I raise? Three things: the aide hours in writing, what "as needed" really means, and a fresh look at the reading goal. Want the one-page brief for the table? Yes please FREE

The about-me picture, the goals, the team, the notes. One folder.

The parts of an IEP that actually decide how the year goes. The agent keeps them current and turns them into the two things that matter: a plan page that prints, and a brief for the meeting.

About Me, strengths first

Strengths, challenges, what helps learning and how your child communicates best, written in plain words and kept kind.

One big goal, daily wins

A long-term goal tied to the school's plan, and short-term goals that each carry the concrete strategies behind them.

Notes the moment they happen

Quick notes from the car park, teacher notes by class, all dated. Nothing lost by the time the review comes around.

One agent, nine skills, one folder

How the pieces hand over to each other: the plan gets built, the record stays current, and everything lands in the folder you own. Meeting Prep and Export turn it into what you carry into the room.

Everything reads and writes one shared folder. Nothing leaves the house unless you say so.

Carried over from the app

The original app made four promises. All four now live in the agent.

01

Summaries that make sense

Paste in any IEP or functional assessment. It comes back organised, in plain words, with three questions worth asking.

02

Sparky grew up

The app's advisor is now the agent itself: any question about the plan, any time, answered from your own folder. No diagnosis, no verdicts.

03

The learning quest

Sparks, levels and badges for the wins that matter: goals met, notes kept, school days logged. A little fun, never a leash.

04

Accessible and gentle

Built with WCAG in mind: real contrast, real focus states, keyboard-first, and a plan page that prints clean on any school printer.

Fifteen minutes to set up. Two minutes a day after that.

The intake copies what the original IEP Companion app asked, as a conversation.

Tell it about your child

First name, year level, and paste in your existing IEP or assessment if you have one. Skip anything you don't. Nothing is ever invented.

Review the plan together

The agent drafts the about-me picture, goals and support team. You correct it before anything is saved. Your framing wins.

Walk in organised

Before any meeting, ask for a brief: your points, your questions, the goals you are holding to, on one printable page.

The team

Nine skills that hand over to each other, plus crisis rails that stop everything when a day gets hard.
