New! ZotGPT Academy Module 4: Creating Custom AI Assistants

Ready to build your own AI assistant? The Office of Information Technology is excited to announce the launch of Module 4 of ZotGPT Academy on July 28. This latest addition teaches UCI faculty and staff how to create personalized AI assistants that can transform how they work, teach, and learn.

What You’ll Learn: Module 4 focuses on two powerful tools: ZotGPT Creator and ClassChat. You’ll discover how to build custom AI assistants for research support, student engagement, administrative tasks, and more. Whether you need a 24/7 student support assistant, a specialized research helper, or a policy guidance tool, this module shows you how to create solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Real Impact on Campus: Custom AI assistants are already helping your peers – from the course assistant that answers prospective student questions to research tools that help navigate complex interdisciplinary projects. These aren’t just chatbots; they’re sophisticated assistants that can handle multi-faceted tasks and augment daily work practices.

Get Started: No prerequisites required, though we recommend completing the other Academy modules first. Access Module 4 by logging into Articulate Rise with your UCI email. 

Intrigued? Take advantage of summer to complete the entire Academy and transform how you use AI.
