Important data handling notes:

FAQ

Should I start with ChatGPT or Claude?

Start with the task. ChatGPT may be a strong starting point for broad assistance, data analysis, images, GPTs, apps, search, and Codex. Claude may be a strong starting point for long documents, writing, projects, artifacts, skills, research, CoWork, and Claude Code.

Can I use AI for University work?

AI may be useful for many University-related tasks, but you must follow UT policy, data guidance, course rules, and unit expectations.

Can students use AI for coursework?

Students should follow course and instructor expectations. When in doubt, ask the instructor before using AI on an assignment.
