ResearchPlan a faculty research idea

Help me turn this research idea into a one-page project outline. Organize it by problem, research question, proposed approach, expected contribution, assumptions and next steps. Flag gaps instead of inventing facts. [Describe the idea.]

Student supportDraft an advising follow-up

Draft a warm, concise follow-up email after an advising meeting. Recap these next steps: [add next steps]. Use plain language, include only the deadlines and resources I provide, and do not add policy claims or personal details.

Tech supportTroubleshoot a staff technology issue

Help me troubleshoot this issue: [describe the symptoms and environment]. Ask up to five diagnostic questions first. Then give me a safest-first checklist with expected results and a clear point for escalation. Do not assume I have administrator access.

Use only information approved for the tool you choose. Never paste passwords, access tokens or other secrets.

AI for your FSE work

Everyday work

Draft, plan, summarize or analyze with an ASU-supported assistant; start with ChatGPT Edu, or consider a funded Claude license for sustained writing, long documents or coding.

Browse ASU AI tools

Teaching

Start with the learning outcome, then choose a tool grounded in your course materials and decide how students should use or disclose AI.

Explore ASU teaching guidance

Build + research

Define the intended users, information, outcome and scale before choosing a platform or computing environment.

Find specialized support

Protect the information. Verify the result.

Use the ASU route

Confirm that the service shows the ASU workspace; a personal account does not have the same protections.

Check the information

Classify it before sharing, and confirm that the specific tool is approved for that data.

Keep human ownership

Review facts, sources, calculations, code and recommendations before relying on them.

Working with ASU, student, employee or research data? Review AI use and data security before you begin. Claude through ASU is approved for FERPA-protected information and requires a department-funded license. Review current Claude access and data guidance.
