AI Toolkit for Web Editors

Learn How to Use AI Tools to Improve Your Website 

AI can help you create clearer and more accessible content, but only when used thoughtfully. This toolkit shows you how to use AI tools like TritonGPT responsibly within UC San Diego's web environment.

Use Cases

Use AI to simplify language, draft alt text, polish tone, create summaries, and more. Just remember: AI is great for editing and formatting, but it shouldn’t replace human review or expertise — especially for sensitive or official content.

Here's a list of example use cases, plus areas where caution is needed: 

Best for

• Plain language conversion: simplify technical or medical language for the general public
• Summarizing long pages: generate concise blurbs or summaries written for the web
• Headlines: create catchy headlines to grab users' attention
• Button link text: ask for creative alternatives to "Learn More"
• Alt text drafting: create alt text for images (with human review)
• Tone polishing: align language with UC San Diego’s brand voice and tone
• FAQ creation: reformat long text into FAQs or extract common user questions
• Metadata assistance: suggest page titles or meta descriptions

Use with Caution

• Generating content from scratch without a source (risk of hallucination)
• Writing about clinical procedures, medical advice, or research outcomes
• Quoting or referencing university policy without verification
• Replacing humans in final reviews, accessibility decisions, or tone approvals

Best Practices

• Always fact-check AI outputs
• Use AI for first drafts or suggestions, not final versions
• Review for bias, tone, accessibility, and UC San Diego policy alignment
• When in doubt, ask a human (reach out to wts@ucsd.edu)
