ZotGPT API Now Available for Research

October 17, 2024

Application programming interface (API) access for ZotGPT is now available for all faculty and staff. This highly anticipated release supports UCI research by providing access to ZotGPT’s gen AI capabilities securely and privately. ZotGPT safeguards the proprietary data of UCI affiliates and prevents companies like OpenAI from training their models on our data.  

Getting Started:

  1. Request an API Key: Your request will be reviewed and approved, then you’ll receive an API key via email. This key will enable access to the ZotGPT service.
  2. Provide Recharge Information: After obtaining the API key, complete the recharge information by submitting a ServiceNow request form. This step is necessary to facilitate any subsequent usage charges.

Additional Details:

To help UCI faculty and staff get started, OIT is offering each individual a $200 credit for API token usage. Thereafter, cost will be recharged back to the KFS information provided. 

We encourage our UCI community to explore the capabilities of ZotGPT and integrate it into their projects. For any questions or assistance with the setup process, please do not hesitate to contact our support team at oit@uci.edu.
