FAQs

CU-GPT works by predicting the next word in a sequence based on the context provided by the user. It uses patterns learned from extensive text data to generate coherent and relevant responses.

CU-GPT is designed to deliver accurate and reliable information by leveraging advanced language models trained on extensive datasets. However, while it can provide useful insights and responses, it does not possess true comprehension or expertise in any field. This means that while many answers will be accurate, there can be instances where the information provided may be outdated, incomplete, or incorrect. Always verify critical information from authoritative sources.

CU-GPT can assist with various academic tasks such as explaining concepts, brainstorming ideas, and providing information on a wide range of topics. However, it should not be used as a substitute for original research or critical thinking.

CU-GPT is a paid service based on usage. For the pilot phase, users will have a daily usage limit in dollar amounts. Usage costs will be tracked, and users can view their usage and expenditure over time.
