UC Procurement AI Assistant

The "UC AI Assistant" can provide answers to questions about procurement and other related University Policies. This assistant is trained on UC policies and processes and can answer many common questions about what and how you can buy. This tool is in initial release, so we encourage you to try it out and submit your feedback directly through the assistant. Although this data is not shared outside of UC for training purposes, please do not include personal identifying information for yourself or anyone else in queries (P1-2 data only).
