Why we built IgniteAI Agent
Educators and administrators are under constant pressure to do more with less, yet most AI tools stop short of delivering real relief. They can suggest, draft, or summarize, but still leave users to navigate screens, manage systems, and complete tasks manually. At the same time, institutions are navigating growing concerns around governance, security, and responsible adoption, making it difficult to introduce more advanced AI without sacrificing trust or control.
IgniteAI Agent was built to close the gap between intent and action. Starting with admin-controlled access, it allows institutions to confidently enable agentic AI within established guardrails. Powered by more than 500 Canvas APIs, the Agent can take secure, transparent action on a user’s behalf, turning natural language prompts into completed workflows. With a free access period through June 30, 2026, institutions can evaluate impact, support educator adoption, and determine long-term value.
How to Enable
IgniteAI Agent is currently available as a Feature Option for administrators only. Admin activation is required.
