A new chatbot tool called Spartan Answers will be implemented on this fall. Powered by Microsoft Copilot, the service will pull information from any site in response to users鈥� questions and serve answers with footnotes linking back to their original sources.
To ensure as much accuracy as possible, editors of existing websites on the university鈥檚 Drupal content management system鈥攎eaning any site on the domain鈥攁re asked to review and update their website content in the coming weeks. Site editors will receive direct communication this month with further guidance.
After launching, in cases where Spartan Answers pulls incorrect information, users will be able to provide feedback on why the question was not helpful. This feedback will funnel to the appropriate website content owners to update for accuracy, but proactive editing is requested to enhance our community鈥檚 online experience.
