AI Software

CSUF has put together a list of AI-oriented software products that have been vetted by the university, and are either free, available for individual purchase, or paid for by the university for your use in your research and classrooms.

Generative AI

One type of AI is Generative AI, which can create new content from data rather than merely analyze existing data. Generative AI often uses Large Language Models (LLMs), which are trained on huge amounts of text, code, and other data. Many of these applications function as AI-powered chatbots—in other words, users submit a prompt, and content is generated in real-time in response to that prompt.

ChatGPT and Other Generative AI Systems

One of the more widely known and discussed generative AI systems is ChatGPT. Developed by tech company OpenAI, it uses predictive technology to create various kinds of written products, such as essays, code, poems, and letters. It can also chat with images and voice, and create images from text descriptions. ChatGPT is trained on large amounts of data and uses reinforcement learning to improve over time.

ChatGPT is not the only generative AI system. There are many others, and new ones are constantly being developed. Educators may be primarily focused on AI’s ability to generate text. Still, it is worth noting that ChatGPT and many other AI applications can also create code, images, music, and other media.

Some additional examples of generative AI applications include:

• TitanGPT, Claude AI, Gemini or CoPilot for text
• Dall-E and Stable Diffusion for images
• Lumen for video
• Soundraw for music
• OpenAI Codex for code

Faculty and students should access TitanGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot using their CSUF login credentials. You may want to use the TitanGPT screensteps, Gemini screensteps or Copilot screensteps to guide you.
