Pathify's chatbot obtains verified answers by directly accessing institutional systems (like the SIS or LMS), avoiding the potential inaccuracies of GPT models that might generate plausible, unverified responses. Our chatbot focuses solely on institutional content, ensuring data confidentiality and implementing safeguards to prevent fabricated answers. Additionally, Pathify is working closely with Google, leveraging the Vertex AI platform. Pathify chose to partner with Google largely because it shares Pathify's goal of using responsible AI.
