What’s new and exciting?

New AI tools have been approved for use including Adobe Firefly to create beautiful images, text effects, and fresh color palettes. The tool is available with a paid university Adobe Creative Cloud license. And, Azure OpenAI is coming soon! The AI environment allows developers to easily integrate OpenAI models into their applications.

As additional AI tools become approved for university use, they will be shared on a dedicated webpage, where you can find detailed instructions on how to use them. Whether you are a student, faculty, researcher or staff member, these tools will offer valuable resources to support your academic and professional endeavors. Stay tuned for more updates on the launch of the site next month and we look forward to continuing to learn from you as we implement these new tools.
