DoomsdaysCWWhile researching #EinsteinAI, I discovered that different #LearningManagementSystems (#LMS) allowed EinsteinAI, while others did not. #CanvasLMS was one of the ones who allowed Einstein and bunch of other #AIAgents. No wonder they got #hacked! It sounds like everybody had a key to get in!
Einstein AI by Companion.AI: Automating Homework on #Canvas Raises #AcademicIntegrity Concerns
A “student-in-a-box” agent arrives—what Einstein signals about the next phase of AI automation
By Juan Martinez, Feb 25, 2026
"Companion.AI’s newly unveiled 'Einstein' agent is not merely another #GenerativeAI assistant; it is a pointed demonstration of how quickly the market is moving from chat-based help to autonomous, persistent agents capable of completing entire workflows end-to-end. By interfacing directly with the Canvas #LearningManagementSystem (LMS), Einstein is positioned to log into student accounts, ingest course materials, participate in discussion threads, draft assignments, and submit finished work—effectively compressing the student’s academic workflow into a 'set it and forget it' automation layer."
