CWRU Community AI Portal
While on campus, you can access the same secure, powerful AI portal available to faculty, students and staff to help you plan trips and projects, build a resume, practice job interview questions and many other personal and professional projects and tasks that are important to you!
If you would like to receive guidance on how to get started with AI, visit our Generative AI Community Training below. The more you practice using the portal, the more comfortable you will become and the better the results of working with the portal will be, so feel free to come back often and keep practicing!
