Recommended Gen AI Tools

The following Generative AI (Gen AI) tools have been curated by the SUSS AI Taskforce using Gartner’s Gen AI Use-Case Prism for Education and evaluation criteria like usefulness for the intended purpose, ease of use, accuracy of the results or outcomes, availability of help resources and its value for money for our SUSS users. (Source: https://www.gartner.com/document/4545299?ref=solrAll&refval=399022927)

It is important to highlight that Gen AI is fast evolving and new tools are being developed and added quickly. The Learning Technology & Services (LTS) team from the Learning Services Cluster will update this list on a semestral basis (before the start of every semester in Jan and July) to keep the published information up-to-date. This list has made provisions for specific user profiles (i.e., Faculty and Associates, Staff and Students) with the tools grouped under relevant categories to facilitate ease of user access.
