Ai Pilot Project
A wireframe, proof-of-concept, and MVP build wrapped up into one project. Using output from the UNMC Ai Committee and faculty feedback, this project was created to provide a usable framework that can be eventually handed over to a production environment or solution owner.
Sandbox tools include: an isolated ChatGPT, Bing Ai Search, Ai News Service, and much more!
A cloud hosted, scalable, and completely isolated infrastructure to explore the possibilities of Ai at UNMC.
A pilot build out of Ai tools, resources, and isolated ChatGPT. This project required a collaboration between UNMC staff, committees, stakeholders, and much more.

Scope of work
Every design journey starts off with a wireframe of all the requested features and a plan for user flow through the web app.
All of these features were built out in a cloud hosted Azure app that is completely isolated and in a secure tenant. The app is built to scale and can be handed off to a production environment or solution owner.
This MVP build includes a ChatGPT, Bing Ai Search, Ai News and was stood up to capture the vision of the UNMC Ai Committee and faculty. We have discovered that many of the tools and resources are already available and can be integrated into the app. And that just having a physical place to explore Ai tools and resources is a great asset to spark the possible solutions for Ai.

Research & Design
A lot of time was spent researching the current Ai tools and resources available to UNMC. This research was used to create a requirements document and project scope.
The project scope was used to create wireframes and a user flow for the app. The wireframes were used to create a feature list and a plan for the MVP build.
Wireframe & MVP
The wireframes were used to create a feature list and a plan for the MVP build. The MVP build was created to capture the vision of the UNMC Ai Committee and faculty.
We used Angular to build the app and Azure services to host the app. The app is completely isolated and in a secure tenant. The backend uses Asp.NET Core hosted in an API Gateway. The benefits of this setup are that the app is scalable and can be handed off to a production environment or solution owner.
ChatGPT
This app uses Azure Cognitive Services to host a ChatGPT. The ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can be used to answer questions and also to provide information.
This version of the ChatGPT is isolated and can be used to explore the possibilities of Ai at UNMC. The version of ChatGPT can be rolled up as new versions are released and the model can be retrained.
AI in Higher Education
Transforming Academic Environments with Responsible AI Implementation
Data Privacy & Security
In academic environments, protecting student and research data is paramount. Our AI implementation adheres to strict FERPA compliance and industry-leading security practices to ensure sensitive academic information remains protected.
All data processed through our AI systems is encrypted both in transit and at rest, with comprehensive access controls and audit logging to maintain the highest privacy standards.
Isolated Azure AI Services
Our implementation uses a dedicated Azure tenant with private endpoints and virtual networks to create a fully isolated AI environment. This separation ensures that academic data never intermingles with public cloud services.
By leveraging Azure Cognitive Services in an isolated instance, we maintain complete control over data sovereignty while still benefiting from cutting-edge AI capabilities, with custom retention policies aligned with institutional requirements.
Enhanced Academic Experience
AI tools empower faculty and researchers with advanced capabilities while maintaining academic integrity. From research analysis to personalized learning, our AI solutions enhance educational experiences without compromising ethical standards.
The platform includes clear usage policies to guide responsible AI adoption, encouraging innovative applications while maintaining transparency about AI's role in academic work and research outputs.
