Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most tutoring businesses are not short on demand, they are short on desk time. Parent enquiries, tutor matching, lesson scheduling, packages, invoices, and progress-report admin fill the week between terms.

Actionist builds AI agents for tutoring companies that handle your digital admin, so tutors can focus on lessons and parents get a fast, reassuring reply.

What matters to you

Speed to reply
The first tutoring company to reply to an enquiry usually wins the family.
The right tutor, every time
Matching subject, level, and availability keeps lessons on track from lesson one.
Lessons that do not slip
A clean schedule with reschedules handled, not four texts per lesson.
Packages that get paid
Prepaid blocks and invoices chased before a balance goes quiet.
Exam season, covered
GCSE, A-level, SAT, and ACT demand spikes without the desk falling behind.
Built around your team
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Tutoring team's day.

Triggers and Reactions

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

WhenA parent enquiry landsfires within about a minute

The agent automatically

The moment a website form, email, or phone-in enquiry arrives, the agent reads it within about a minute, checks subject, level, and exam board against tutor availability, drafts a warm reply offering two assessment times, and logs the family to your CRM. Every message waits for your one-pass approval before it reaches a parent, so a fast reply never becomes a rushed one.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An AI agent works with real family details and payments, so staying in control matters. Actionist is built to be supervised: you decide how much each agent does on its own, you approve what reaches a parent, and every step is recorded for you to check.

You set the supervision

Choose how much each agent does on its own, from drafting for your approval to handling trusted routine work. Cancelling a package or issuing a refund always asks first and cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Agents can reach you over Telegram or Slack, so you approve a reply or an action with one tap, from wherever you are.

Every run is logged

Each run is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent read and did.

Your data stays yours

Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually answer parent enquiries fast enough, and sound like us?

Yes, and speed is the whole point. The agent watches your enquiry inbox and any online forms, and picks up a new enquiry within about a minute, whatever the hour. It reads the message, checks subject and level against a tutor's real availability, and drafts a warm first reply with two assessment slots. You teach it your tone and your usual qualifying questions once, and until you trust it every reply waits for your approval before it reaches a parent. A family answered in minutes instead of hours is often the difference between a booked assessment and a parent who calls the tutoring company down the road.

We run on our own booking system and CRM with no public API. Can it still work with those?

Yes. Most booking calendars, CRMs, and back-office tools a tutoring business runs on do not expose an open API, which is exactly why Actionist does not rely on one. It operates your screen the way a person does, reading the interface, clicking, and typing, so it can work inside the booking tool, CRM, or spreadsheet system you already use, even niche or homegrown ones. Screen automation like this runs on the Actionist desktop app.

Will it ever message a parent without me seeing it first?

Only if you decide it should. Every agent has an Approval Mode you set, from drafting everything for your review to handling trusted, routine work on its own once you trust the pattern. Anything destructive, like cancelling a package or issuing a refund, always asks first, and that setting cannot be turned off. You can approve a reply or an action from your phone over Telegram or Slack, so nothing reaches a family without a person having the chance to check it.

Enquiries and reschedules come in on weekends and evenings. Does it cover those?

The desktop app works whenever it is open on a computer, so weekday cover is straightforward. For evenings, weekends, and school holidays when nobody is at a desk, Actionist also offers a hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan, so an agent can keep watching the inbox and drafting replies for your morning approval, without a laptop staying open overnight.

Is this going to replace our tutors or our front-desk team?

No. Actionist agents never teach, grade, or make decisions about a child's learning, that stays entirely with your tutors. What the agents take on is the admin around the teaching: reading enquiries, matching tutors to lessons, chasing paperwork, invoicing, and filing notes. Your front-desk team spends less time on repetitive admin and more time on the calls and relationships that actually need a person.

Every tutoring company runs a bit differently. Can we build an agent for how we actually work?

Yes, and this is the point. The teams, apps, and jobs shown on this page are real examples, not a fixed list. If your business runs a waitlist for popular tutors, a specific exam-board process, or a particular way of handling holiday courses, you can brief a custom agent for exactly that job the same way you would brief a new starter, in plain English, with your own documents and examples.

How is family and payment data kept safe?

Credentials for your booking system, CRM, and accounting tools are encrypted in a vault and never shown again once connected. An agent's memory of your business stays on your own machine, is never used to train shared models, and every run is logged step by step with a full transcript so you can see exactly what it read and did. You can also self-host Actionist on your own server if that matters for how you handle family data.

Nobody on our team is technical. How hard is this to set up?

No code is involved. You brief an agent the way you would a new starter, describing the job in plain English with a couple of real examples, and connect the apps you already use with a guided one-minute setup per app. Most tutoring businesses have their first agent, usually enquiry replies or lesson reminders, running the same day they start.

What does this cost, and is it worth it for a business our size?

Pricing scales with how many agents you run and whether you add the hosted cloud runtime, so there is no single number that fits every tutoring business, small or multi-branch. The value shows up in hours back on your desk each week (enquiries answered, invoices chased, notes filed) and in the enrolments and renewals that no longer slip through because a follow-up was missed. Book a free demo and we will show you what AI agents for tutoring could look like on your own numbers.
