TritonGPT Assistants

The UC San Diego Assistant retrieves information from approved campus websites and public knowledge articles at request time. Responses include links so you can review the source directly. The assistant can also use supported tools for current campus information, such as parking availability and Geisel Library busyness, when those tools are available in the interface.

Best used when

You need UC San Diego-specific information about a service, policy, process, place, or term.

Example prompts

• "What does this UC San Diego acronym mean, and what is the source?"
• "Where can I find vegan meal options on campus?"
• "What steps does Blink list for requesting reimbursement for business travel?"

Review the result

Open the cited page, check its owner and last-updated date, and confirm that the guidance applies to your role and circumstances. If a department's information is not in an approved source, it may not appear in the response.

The Internet Search Assistant searches public web sources for current information. It also provides access to Deep Research for tasks that require a broader, multi-source investigation.

Best used when

You need recent information outside UC San Diego's approved knowledge sources, want to compare external sources, or need research that combines campus and public information.

Example prompts

• "Find the latest official guidance on this topic and summarize what changed."
• "Compare these three approaches using primary sources and include publication dates."
• "Research this topic, separate established facts from open questions, and cite every major claim."

Review the result

Prefer primary and authoritative sources. Check dates, follow citations to the original pages, and distinguish sourced facts from the assistant's synthesis. Web search results are not automatically UC San Diego guidance.

The General AI Assistant does not add UC San Diego-specific knowledge or provide reference links by default. It is designed for creating and transforming content that you supply.

Best used when

You are writing or editing content, generating ideas, translating, extracting information, or summarizing material.

Example prompts

• "Rewrite this email in a concise, professional tone without changing the meaning."
• "Provide a bulleted list of team-building ideas for a hybrid group of 12 people."
• "Summarize the attached document in five bullets and list any unanswered questions."

Review the result

Check names, dates, quotations, calculations, and factual claims. Use a source-focused assistant when you need current or authoritative information.

The Fund Manager Coach provides guidance on budgeting, grant guidelines, financial transactions, payroll, and compliance for UC San Diego. It retrieves from approved Finance and Research Knowledge Base articles and relevant Blink pages at request time.

Scope: Sponsor-specific award policy documents are not included. The assistant provides process guidance; it does not access your financial records or make approvals.

Best used when

You need information about finance, research administration, procurement, or travel and expense processes at UC San Diego.

Example prompts

• "How do I access the Business Activity Hub?"
• "Which Blink pages explain international travel requirements?"
• "What is the process for reimbursing a non-employee for approved lab supplies?"
• "What should I review as a grant approaches its end date?"

Review the result

Follow the linked knowledge articles and Blink pages. Confirm account-specific, sponsor-specific, and approval questions with the responsible office or fund manager.

The Data Dictionary Assistant helps report developers navigate data definitions available for UC San Diego Activity Hubs.

Best used when

You need to understand a reporting term or field, find where a data element is documented, or compare related definitions before building a report.

Example prompts

• "What does this field mean in the Finance Activity Hub?"
• "Which data elements can I use to distinguish these two reporting concepts?"
• "Explain the grain and expected values for this field, and cite the dictionary entry."

Review the result

Confirm the definition, reporting context, data grain, and effective period in the authoritative data dictionary. Access to reports and underlying data continues to depend on your assigned permissions.

The Job Description Helper guides hiring managers through drafting a Position Overview using the Career Tracks job standard library and details supplied about the role.

Best used when

You are a hiring manager preparing a new Position Overview or related recruiting content.

How it works

The assistant asks for the position title and the role-specific responsibilities or characteristics that should appear in the overview. After developing the overview, you can ask it to draft related materials such as a job posting, interview questions, a LinkedIn post, or an email announcement.

Review the result

Confirm the classification, duties, qualifications, inclusive language, and required approvals with the appropriate hiring and human resources reviewers.

The Phishing Analyzer reviews pasted or uploaded email content, identifies possible phishing signals, and provides a risk rating with an explanation.

Best used when

You receive an email and are uncertain whether it is safe.

What to include

Provide the sender information, subject, message text, and relevant link text without opening suspicious links. Remove passwords, authentication codes, financial details, and other sensitive information before submitting content.

Review and act

Do not open links or attachments in a suspicious message. The analysis is guidance, not a security determination. Report suspected phishing to abuse@ucsd.edu.

Expert Notetaker converts a meeting transcript or rough notes into structured documentation focused on decisions and action items.

Best used when

Default output

• Date, Time and Attendees — meeting date/time; participants; recorder
• Executive Overview — purpose; key decisions; top actions
• Detailed Discussion Log — timestamped highlights; context; references
• Review of Key Topics — themes; changes; open issues
• Decision Register — numbered decisions; rationale; impact; owner/date
• Action Item Table — tasks; owners; due dates; priority; status/dependencies

Example prompt

"Turn this transcript into meeting minutes. Separate confirmed decisions from proposals, list each action with an owner and due date, and flag anything that needs human confirmation."

Review the result

Compare the output with the original record. Confirm attendees, decisions, action owners, due dates, and quotations before sharing the notes.
