Abstract
A key strength of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative Al lies in their ability to comprehend human language with depth and nuance, facilitating logical reasoning, planning, and execution of tasks. This capability has led to the assertion that anyone can become a programmer in the Al era. It empowers human teachers to collaborate with Al counterparts in crafting lesson plans using natural language. By mastering the design and deployment of these agents, teachers can tailor learning experiences to suit diverse student needs, guided by established learning theories and adaptive strategies. Acting as proxies for human teachers, Al agents extend the reach of teaching beyond physical constraints, enabling ubiquitous learning experiences. In this presentation, I will delve into the conceptual framework and design principles for developing pedagogical Al agents. Through live demonstrations, Iwill showcase the versatility of these agents using a universal client, which leverages robotic interfaces and general-purpose computing devices, such as tablets or computers.
