AI Consultations
Guided, Project-focused support
For people who have a specific project or workflow they want to build, these sessions are designed to help you understand how to approach your idea using Duke-supported tools such as ChatGPT Edu, Microsoft Copilot, MyGPT Builder, and the AI Gateway.
During the consultation, we can walk through the tools that best fit your project, review your idea or an early prototype, and outline the steps needed to build and maintain your own solution. The goal is to give you clarity and confidence as you move forward. This service focuses on guidance for your project rather than general tool training.
What we can help with:
- How to create and structure a custom GPT
- How retrieval and knowledge bases work
- Reviewing a prototype or idea
- Understanding model selection
- Preparing documents and prompts
- Clarifying requirements if we think your idea needs to be moved to Ignite tier
