Streamlining and Automating Daily Reporting
Rapid App Innovation with AI
Designed and developed an end-to-end mobile app that automates daily school activity reporting, keeps parents informed through real-time updates, and generates a comprehensive end-of-day summary of key events, activities, and observations.

My Role: Research, design, and development
Timeline: 3 Weeks
Platforms: iOS/Android
Disciplines: UX/UI
Tools: Replit + Figma
Customer Problem 1
Schools need a more efficient way to document and communicate each child’s daily activities, without relying on a manual end-of-day reporting process that is labor-intensive and difficult to scale.
Customer Problem 2
Parents need real-time visibility into their child’s school day to feel informed, reassured, and confident about their child’s safety and well-being.
Goal
The app solves both user problems by giving parents timely visibility and reassurance throughout the school day, while automating daily activity tracking and report creation for school staff.
User Research
Used ChatGPT to develop a detailed research plan, then carried it out by interviewing teachers and school owners. I also used ChatGPT to synthesize the findings into clear takeaways that informed multiple design solutions.
These are what I gathered from participants:
-
Fast, simple logging
-
Better parent communication
-
Bulk actions for multiple children
-
Flexible editing and deletion
-
Stronger child record management

Things I did:
-
Automate activity reporting through a simple teacher workflow that allows staff to select an activity, choose the child or children involved, and add a note when needed. Once submitted, the update is automatically logged in each child’s activity feed for parents to view.
-
Triggered by the check-out action, the app automatically generates an AI-powered end-of-day summary of the child’s activities. The head teacher can review and edit the summary as needed before it is shared with parents.
-
In the parent portal, parents can only view their own child’s feed and communicate with teachers in real time through comments on activity updates, with notifications sent for each reply.
-
Using screens and components created in Figma, I created a fully functional MVP with Replit for client testing that allows staff to log activities, manage students and items, and communicate across teacher and parent versions on different mobile devices, then continued iterating on the product based on feedback from the client and other test users.
