This makes RWTH one of the pioneers in the university-wide use of artificial intelligence. In this article, we introduce you to the new AI tool, which is being developed and made available by the IT Center in cooperation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cls.rwth-aachen.de\/go\/id\/wqacp\/\">Center for Teaching and Learning Services (CLS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\"><strong>RWTHgpt Background<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The RWTHgpt project, which is now being used in research, teaching and administration, was developed by a team from the IT Center and CLS at RWTH and heralds the era of AI technology at RWTH. Expertise, experience and technical solutions had already been gathered in advance with the <a href=\"https:\/\/hochschulforumdigitalisierung.de\/proof-of-concept-zur-anbindung-von-moodle-an-chatgpt\/\">proof of concept<\/a> for connecting Moodle to ChatGPT. The aim was to integrate a chatbot into Moodle that recognises course-specific knowledge and can answer specific questions. The impressions and experiences gained about what is technically feasible and what is not have been incorporated into the development of the central AI tool RWTHgpt, which serves as a text-based dialogue system. As a user of the service, you can ask the AI tool questions or text-based tasks and have multimodal content (text and image) analysed.<\/p>\n<p>RWTHgpt is based on the Azure <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/\">OpenAI<\/a> service from Microsoft. This makes OpenAI&#8217;s generative AI technologies available in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. RWTHgpt offers users the fastest and most up-to-date version of OpenAI&#8217;s AI language model, ChatGPT-4o, at the start, but also includes ChatGPT-3.5t. Other models such as the open source AI tool Mistral or GPT-4omini will follow. The service has been specially designed to enable generative AI to be used for business purposes in compliance with data protection regulations. Further information on the functions of RWTHgpt can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/help.itc.rwth-aachen.de\/en\/service\/1808737e10424937b76e564ed15d8028\/article\/a7be8edd80274621aae6bebfddd3f459\/\">IT Center Help.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\"><strong>Using RWTHgpt<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First of all, you should familiarise yourself with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cls.rwth-aachen.de\/global\/show_document.asp?id=aaaaaaaacnbbuyd\">checklist for legally compliant use<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/cls.rwth-aachen.de\/global\/show_document.asp?id=aaaaaaaacnbceza\">terms of use<\/a> for the RWTHgpt service.<\/p>\n<p>You can access the AI tool via the web <a href=\"https:\/\/genai.rwth-aachen.de\/\">interface<\/a> developed by the IT Center.
