What is UT Spark?
UT Spark is part of the UT.AI initiative, a University-wide effort to make AI accessible, ethical, and impactful for every Longhorn. Powered by OpenAI and hosted on UT’s secure infrastructure, Spark helps you:
- Brainstorm ideas to spark creativity and accelerate your projects.
- Summarize research quickly so you can focus on insights, not manual work.
- Chat with official UT bots for instant answers—all while keeping your data private and protected.
Your data stays private, Spark does not share your information with external AI models.
Why it Matters
“UT Spark is more than a platform. It’s a reflection of our commitment to an AI-powered campus where every Longhorn can shape the future of AI on the Forty Acres.”
- Mario Guerra | Director of Enterprise Learning Technology
