University launches CWRU AI portal

[U]Tech has partnered with Microsoft and Cloudforce to launch CWRU AI, an internal, secure, general purpose artificial intelligence (AI) portal for the Case Western Reserve University community.

Features of CWRU AI include:

  • uploading and querying your own files, including images, PDFs, and Word, Excel and CSV files (more file types are on the way), and
  • maintaining a personal prompt library to re-use helpful prompts (your conversation history is saved so you can refer back to it).

The first time logging into CWRU AI with single sign-on, you can select from the dropdown the large language model you want to use to power the chat, either Open AI’s ChatGPT 4o or 3.5 Turbo. Other models are coming soon. Regardless of the model you choose, data entered into the portal is not shared outside the university and is never used to train the underlying models.

Currently, there is no charge for this service but daily limits apply. Many new features are being planned for the next several months. See [U]Tech’s AI service page for the latest campus AI news and offerings, including information on Spartan Answers, a new chatbot being piloted on My CWRU.
