# The class group, without reading all 200 messages > A trip that moved to Thursday. A payment for the teacher's gift. A white shirt for the ceremony. Somewhere between the birthday wishes and the lost water bottle are the three things you actually need. Ask your agent for them. **Circles lets your AI agent read your parents and class WhatsApp groups** and pull out what matters: dates, payments, what to bring, and anything asked of you. Voice notes arrive as text in Hebrew and English, and the permission slip PDF is one request away. Free for 2 chats, Pro $29 a month (₪99 in Israel) with 14 days free, as of October 2026. Source: https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/parents-and-school-groups · Updated 2026-10-27 ## Try asking - **"What do the kids need to bring tomorrow?"**: Across every class and team group you opened, in one list. - **"When is the trip, what time do the buses leave, and what changed?"**: The latest version of each detail. - **"Is there a payment I haven't made for the class this month?"**: Collected from payment requests, reminders and links posted in the group. - **"Find the permission slip for the trip and tell me the deadline."**: The agent finds the PDF and reads it. - **"This week, for both kids: dates, events, things to bring."**: Two classes, a sports team and a youth group, in one note. - **"Did the teacher ask parents for anything this week?"**: Requests aimed at parents, including the ones sent as voice notes. ## An example exchange Invented group and invented parents, shortened. **You:** What do I need to know from the Oak Street parents group this week? **Agent:** 112 messages since Sunday. Three things for you: - **The trip moved to Thursday.** Buses leave at 8:15. Bring a hat, water and a packed lunch (Dana, voice note, Monday). - **Permission slip due Wednesday.** Yossi posted the PDF; it needs one parent's signature. - **Class gift.** 40 per family by Friday, payment link in the group on Tuesday. The rest was birthday wishes and a lost blue jacket. Want me to open the permission slip? ## What Circles prepares for the agent - **Voice notes as text.** The class rep who sends updates by voice note is summarized like everyone else. Hebrew and English. [More on voice notes](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/voice-note-transcription). - **Files ready to open.** Permission slips, schedules and menus are listed by name, and the agent opens the one it needs. [More on files](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/find-files-and-documents). - **Names you know.** Parents come back by the names you saved, and "who is in the group?" works by name too. - **Corrections applied.** When someone edits "Wednesday" to "Thursday", the agent sees Thursday. ## Agents that do this best - **[Instinct](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/instinct)**: "What do they need tomorrow?" in a WhatsApp message at pickup, answered in the same WhatsApp. - **[Claude](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/claude)**: Reads several class groups and the PDFs in them, and turns the week into one list. - **[ChatGPT](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/chatgpt)**: Ask about the class groups next to everything else you plan in ChatGPT. ## Open the school groups, keep the rest hidden Open just the class, team and parents groups, as **read**. The agent can read and search them and has no way to post there, so nothing lands in a group of 30 parents by mistake. Your family chats and everything else can stay hidden: a hidden chat does not exist for agents. [How Circles handles your chats](https://usecircles.app/en/security). ## Questions and answers ### Can my AI assistant answer "what did the parents group decide about the trip"? Yes, with Circles. Your agent reads the parents group you opened, voice notes included, and answers with the latest date, time and what to bring. ### How do I summarize the class parents group without reading 300 messages? Connect your agent to Circles, open the class group for reading, and ask for dates, payments and things to bring since Sunday. The agent skips the greetings. ### Can the agent post in the parents group by mistake? Not if you open the group as read. In Circles, a read-only chat has no way to send, and the agent is told so if it tries. ### Does it understand Hebrew voice notes from the class group? Yes. Circles transcribes voice notes automatically in Hebrew and English, so updates sent as voice notes are part of the summary. ### Can it find the permission slip someone sent? Yes. Circles lists the documents in your open chats, and the agent fetches the PDF and reads it, up to 50 MB per file. ## Keep reading - [Summarize any group](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/summarize-whatsapp-groups): The same catch-up for the building, the team, the family. - [A daily digest](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/daily-digest): Every class group, one morning note. - [Instinct](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/instinct): Ask at pickup, in a WhatsApp message. --- 14 days free.
