Rocky campus-information AI assistant
UC Davis expanded Rocky AI from a pilot with over 350 employees to an employee open beta
Problem
Employees needed guidance specific to UC Davis rather than generic chatbot answers. Relevant information was held in university resources.
Approach
The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Information and Educational Technology developed Rocky together. The assistant drew on campus data to answer university-specific questions. A fall 2024 pilot expanded into open beta for all employees in 2025.
Results
Takeaway
UC Davis broadened access after testing with faculty and staff. It did not disclose measured answer accuracy or employee time savings.
