1. Aalto AI Assistant 

Aalto AI Assistant is a chat that utilizes Large Language Models (LLM) such as GPT3.5 and GPT4. While it currently supports these models, 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 prioritizes enhanced security.

Aalto AI Assistant can be used for tasks like refining text, obtaining feedback on personal compositions, and analyzing larger documents. GPT models are safe and can be applied to public and internal information and confidential data. 

* Aalto AI Assistant is now published for personnel.

* Aalto AI Assistant for Students pilot takes place by the end of 2024. 
   A training for teachers in each school and their students is included.

* A wider roll-out for Aalto AI Assistant for Students is planned in 2025.
