Purple - Monthly Training in UW's Gen AI Tool

Purple is UW’s general purpose AI tool, created to support teaching, research, and daily operations across campus. Whether you're new to artificial intelligence or looking to deepen your skills, the Purple Monthly Training Sessions provide a practical introduction to AI at the University of Washington. Each month, participants explore the fundamentals of generative AI, effective prompting strategies, and UW's Purple platform through a short presentation, live demonstrations, and hands-on guidance. Sessions regularly cover topics such as AI literacy, prompt engineering, agent creation, and emerging best practices for operational work. No technical background is required. Whether you're curious about what AI can do, looking to save time on routine tasks, or interested in building custom agents to support your work, these sessions are designed to help you move from exploration to application. Join us to learn new skills, discover practical use cases, and connect with others across the UW community who are exploring how AI can support their work.
