Simplify Your AI Management: Meet Nectir Groups!

We’re excited to introduce Groups, our latest feature designed to help higher education institutions efficiently manage and utilize their Nectir AI Assistants. At Nectir, we deeply understand the complexities and challenges involved in educational workflows—especially as institutions expand their AI capabilities.

What Are Nectir Groups?

Nectir Groups allow you to organize your AI Assistants into structured, nested categories based on your institution’s needs. Whether you’re sorting by department, program, course initiative, or specific projects, Groups provide clear, intuitive hierarchies for enhanced manageability.

Why Did We Build Groups?

As AI becomes an integral part of higher education, many institutions have faced a common hurdle: the difficulty in managing numerous, diverse AI Assistants. Without clear organizational structures, Assistants quickly become hard to navigate, leading to confusion, redundancy, and reduced efficiency. Feedback from our educator and administrator community reinforced that these challenges significantly impacted their ability to effectively leverage AI resources.

Groups were designed precisely to resolve these pain points, providing intuitive, scalable hierarchies that reduce complexity, eliminate confusion, and ensure that managing Assistants enhances rather than hinders educational innovation.

How Can You Use Groups?

Here are some practical ways your institution can leverage Groups:

  • Layered Organization: Easily manage AI Assistants by academic departments, specific courses, or institutional initiatives, eliminating confusion in complex setups.
  • Empower Teaching and Learning: Allow students and TAs to create specialized Assistants, fostering hands-on experience with Generative AI.
  • Tailored Support: Create Assistants customized for specific course topics, difficulty levels, or student accommodations.
  • Flexible Workflow: Move Assistants seamlessly between private "sandbox" environments for testing and public production use, eliminating workflow disruptions.
Impact and Opportunities

By introducing Groups, institutions gain:

  • Streamlined management of diverse AI setups, significantly reducing organizational friction.
  • Enhanced AI literacy and hands-on opportunities for students and faculty.
  • Improved academic support tailored specifically to diverse learning contexts and individual student needs.
  • A future-proof system that effortlessly scales as your AI initiatives grow.

We’re continually inspired by the innovative ways institutions leverage Nectir, and we’re confident that Groups will further empower you to deliver personalized, effective learning experiences. Dive into the new Groups feature and discover the possibilities for your institution today!
