Applications

Generative AI

This table contains different generative AI applications useful for the university community.It is not a complete list or a definitive recommendation, but it aims to help students, teaching staff, research staff, and the PTGAS to choose tools discerningly.The aim is to facilitate the responsible use of AI, always following the four practical guidelines as well as the initial questions and ethical principles of the Catalan Observatory for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence.

Generic multimodal tools

Generating text, image, video and sound

Autonomous / hybrid
  • Le Chat Mistral - AI chatbot developed by Mistral AI, a multimodal conversational assistant capable of processing and generating text, as well as generating and analysing audiovisual content. It stands out for its speed and efficiency, as well as for its strong European approach.
  • Co-pilot - Microsoft AI Assistant integrated into Windows, Bing and Edge. It combines capacities for generating text, web searches and creating audiovisual content.
  • Qwen 3.5-Plus- is a high-performance open-source AI model focussed on efficiency and developed by Alibaba, designed with hybrid architecture that enables vision-language processing, programming and agent tasks. It is known for surpassing OpenAI and Anthropic models in image recognition, OCR and board comprehension.
  • Generic unimodal tools

    Text generation

    Autonomous (privacy)
  • Lumo Proton- Platform that offers language models with a strong emphasis on data privacy and security, operating independently and guaranteeing the confidentiality of users' information.
  • Apertus Public AI- An initiative that provides open public access to generative AI models, prioritising transparency and data sovereignty for institutions and citizens.
  • Apriel Chat- AI application that is included in the so-called Small Language Models created by ServiceNow. These are specifically designed for business applications and offer a powerful and cost-effective alternative to LLMs. It can be integrated into web pages, apps and messaging channels.It also includes security and privacy options such as not saving the history of chats for improvements or education.
  • Integrated into a search engine (privacy)
  • Duck AI- Generative AI service integrated into the DuckDuckGo search engine, which allows you to chat with anonymous models (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) without compromising user privacy, as conversations are not used to train models.
  • Brave Leo AI- AI assistant integrated into the Brave browser. It works directly alongside web browsing and can summarise pages, answer questions and create content, always with a focus on local privacy.
  • Autonomous code (open code / efficiency)
  • DeepSeek- Advanced language model developed by DeepSeek (Chinese company). Known for its high response capacity, low operating cost and for being open source.
  • OLMo- Platform for open language model by the Allen Institute for AI. It offers not only the weights of the model, but also the training code and data, fostering transparent research.
  • Granite Playground- Exploration environment for IBM’s Granite model family, open-source models optimised for professional/business tasks and code generation, which stand out for their efficiency and reliability.
  • Tiny Aya- Project linked to Cohere that seeks to develop very small and efficient language models with multilingual capacities, designed for environments with few computational resources.
  • SPECIFIC UNIMODAL TOOLS

    Text translation

    Autonomous
  • TildeOpen- latest-generation open automatic translation platform developed by Tilde. It offers text and document translation services, specialising in European languages.
  • Softcatalà- Automatic translation platform between Catalan and several languages. The service uses two different types of technologies (to be chosen): a translator based on the free software project Apertium, and neural translatordeveloped by Softcatalà.
  • If an application needs to be purchased, these are the points to bear in mind in the contractual clauses of an AI system
