Learn about custom GPTs

Are you interested in guiding student work with AI or creating guardrails for student use? Consider building a Custom GPT.

Get started with custom GPTs

This video features Dr. Jennifer Trainor exploring custom GPTs and their potential for teaching and learning. She addresses key questions, including:

• What are custom GPTs?
• Why might they be more effective for teaching and learning than ChatGPT and other generative AI tools?
• Can custom GPTs better support student learning and help mitigate well-documented challenges associated with large language model (LLM) use?

This video from SFSU Academic Technology features Ethan Cortes, Services Specialist, explaining how to set up a custom GPT for your course.
