The Generative AI Tools Available Through Connecticut College guide provides an overview of generative AI tools available to all current students, faculty, and staff through Connecticut College. There are important considerations to keep in mind when using these tools, including information security and data privacy, compliance, copyright, and academic integrity.
Many other generative AI tools are available to the public, including tools that are free to use. Never enter classified or proprietary data into any publicly available generative AI tool. All suggested tools below offer a free version. Some of the tools have subscription options with additional capabilities.
Since there are so many generative AI tools these days, it can be difficult to decide which one to use for a particular task.
A helpful way to think about this is to look at whether the tool is grounded in a source of facts.
Not grounded - these models rely only on their training data
Grounded - these models can also use web search results or other types of search results (see below)
Choose your model - these models allow you to choose which AI model you would like to use within a single platform.
