MonarchMind seamlessly integrates multiple large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Meta’s Llama 3. Unlike many AI platforms that rely on a single model, MonarchMind combines the strengths of these systems, offering a unified space where individuals can generate text, analyze data and process images or files with ease.
MonarchMind is more than a tool – it is an asset designed to empower the Monarch community with practical AI skills and prepare everyone on campus to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven workforce.
Who can use MonarchMind?
Faculty and staff at ODU can take advantage of the platform:
- Faculty members: Leverage the platform to design course content, create quizzes and assessments, draft syllabi or brainstorm new curriculum ideas. Prepare study guides for students to help them gain a deeper understanding of complex topics.
- Researchers: Streamline workflows by conducting web-based literature searches and crafting compelling presentations. Summarize academic papers, automate literature reviews, or generate research ideas and hypotheses.
- Advisors: Use MonarchMind to create personalized plans for students, complete with summaries for future reference.
