Generative AI Jill Watson teaching assistant
Georgia Tech reported A grades for 66% of students with Jill Watson access versus 62% without access
Problem
Online students needed answers grounded in their course materials. General-purpose assistants could provide answers that did not match the course.
Approach
Georgia Tech deployed a ChatGPT-based Jill Watson in its online AI course by fall 2023. It retrieved course material and checked responses against that material. A controlled experiment compared students with and without Jill Watson access; both groups could use ChatGPT.
Results
Takeaway
The comparison tested access to a course-grounded assistant alongside general ChatGPT availability. The university described better grades as an association with access.
