Are you pointing AI at the right side of the desk?

Today's Daily Seed: most teachers aim AI at their own to-do list. Faster grading, faster planning. The student never feels a thing.

The real leverage is on the other side of the desk. Use AI to close what I call the Presence Gap, the distance between when a student needs you and when you are actually there. It opens in three places in every course: feedback delay, availability windows, and one pace for thirty different speeds.

I built a four-phase toolkit to walk you through fixing it: https://www.harvestkernel.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/presence-gap-toolkit.html

Question for you: what is the one moment in your course where students get stuck and you just can't be there for all of them?
