Teaching is an ever-evolving field for teachers and students. With the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the last few years, we (teachers) have access to controversial yet powerful tools. On one hand, we must address issues of cheating and plagiarism, and on the other, teachers now have access to a powerful tool that can revolutionize the way teachers work and students learn. Among the many AI tools available, Humata AI is a user-friendly application that can transform the way we interact with information.

What is Humata AI

Humata AI is an assistant tool that allows users to interact with large amounts ot text and other information. Imagine having a tool that can instantly read through textbooks, published research, and course materials, and then provide instant answers to your specific questions. This includes summarizing key points, relating uploaded materials, and marrying the information to other internet sources, all with high accuracy. Humata AI is powered by advanced AI models, such as ChatGPT 4, and is designed to interact with documents that you upload. Think PDFs, DOCX, PPTs, and more.
