New AI tools available to UC students, faculty and staff
Updates include Zoom AI Companion and LinkedIn Learning AI-Powered Coach
The University of Cincinnati recently added additional resources to its suite of supported AI tools for students, faculty, and staff.
- Zoom’s AI Companion offers a variety of features including real-time meeting captions, meeting and chat summarization, and action-step identification.
- LinkedIn Learning’s AI-Powered Coach helps learners navigate courses by answering questions, summarizing key concepts, and offering tailored suggestions based on individual goals and career aspirations.
UC-Supported AI Tools
The redesigned AI Tools page on uc.edu connects students, faculty, and staff to the suite of currently available UC-supported AI tools. Each has been vetted and reviewed for compliance with existing UC policies and security requirements.
Please leverage the tools listed on the AI Tools page. Tools that do not appear on the page—such as Otter.ai and Read.ai—are not approved for use due to documented security issues.
Feel free to submit suggestions for new tools to the AI Tool Suggestions Form.
