This is interesting. "Cogniti is designed to let teachers build custom chatbot agents that can be given specific instructions, and specific resources, to assist student learning in context-sensitive ways." I tried it out by interacting with some of the agents, including a realistic-sounding person who turned out to be a stroke victing, and an agent that found all the references to privacy in the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics and Practice (2024). It's all beta but I can see how this would be a really useful tool in class, in learning design, and for students working on projects or practicing skills. (P.S. it sounds to me like the stroke victim is on the way to full recovery). Via Miguel Guhlin. You can try it out yourself (it will ask you to log in) or watch the short promotional video.
