Applying AI

Learn how to apply AI in your work to help with your everyday work based on your role and task. 

AI assistant tools such as Copilot Chat, Microsoft Copilot Pro, and CU ChatGPT Edu can all be used to enhance your lesson plans and make it easier to create grading rubrics, brainstorming activities, craft emails, create coursework summaries, compile feedback, and engage with the subject material in a new way. 

If you're teaching a virtual class, Zoom AI companion is very helpful for taking notes and generating a summary of the lesson so that you can easily find discussion points, follow-up items, and questions.

Always double check what the AI produces for accuracy before using it.

Using AI assistants can help you take your work to the next level by streamlining operational tasks and allowing you to refocus your time and effort. Copilot Chat and CU ChatGPT Edu are great for creating one-page summaries, infographics, brainstorming, drafting emails and content editing. 

Microsoft Copilot Pro connects all Microsoft applications together and allows you to use them holistically. Pull data from your Excel reports into a PowerPoint with ease. Create a Word document executive summary based on multiple files and file types with a single, well-written prompt. Create content tailored to specific audiences with customized tone, style and vocabulary. 

Zoom AI Companion is a game-changer for administrative and project management roles. It takes meeting minutes for you which allows you to be more engaged in your meetings and able to participate instead of being focused on note-taking.

Adobe Firefly takes image generation to the next level and connects the Creative Cloud applications together so that your next annual report can have a custom-generated image added to it without having to go to a different platform and upload a file.

Always double check what the AI produces for accuracy before using it. 

AI can elevate research and has been a significant asset when used correctly. Claude and an analyst agent are both enabled in Microsoft Copilot Pro for deep research and analytics. CU ChatGPT Edu also has up to five deep research uses per day included in the free version provided by the university. 

For more advanced features, AI environments such as Vertex AI, Azure Open AI and Google Workspace are specifically available for researchers and developers on the campus. These environments require more advanced technical knowledge to utilize, but they allow for advanced research, customization, batch interfacing, and more. 

Always double check what the AI produces for accuracy before using it.
