AI Services
1. Aalto AI Assistant
Aalto AI Assistant is an AI tool that utilises large language models (LLM) such as GPT4o and the text-to-image model DALL-E. There are plans to include more language models in the future. The models are currently operated on the cloud, but there are intentions to introduce local models that prioritise enhanced security.
Aalto AI Assistant can be used for tasks like refining text, obtaining feedback on personal compositions, analysing larger documents, and creating images. The GPT models are secure and can be applied to public and internal information as well as confidential data.
Aalto AI Assistant is available to all Aaltonians.
