Quick Facts

  • Resource allocation: Due to ESMT’s relatively small size, they allocated resources slowly where available, grew the project organically, learned, and planned for future necessary resource allocation.
  • Time for testing: The team standardized the system prompts for both student and faculty audiences and codified the GPT action schema to enable significant time savings.
  • Faculty and staff buy-in: To harness enthusiasm and counter some of the doubters, the team started a virtual AI community on Sharepoint to share ideas, discoveries, and questions.
