Agentic AI
Meet Clementine
An AI class-search agent, built on Claude, that lets 22,000 students plan schedules by simply asking — in their own words, at any hour.
Read the storyArtificial intelligence, put to work.
We are building AI into how the University operates so that our systems become more capable while our people keep the judgment. The goal is an institution that runs with less friction, so every student, faculty member, and staff member gets more of what they need, when they need it.
What we're doingAI, already at work across campus
From an agentic class-search assistant to a campuswide training series, here's how Syracuse is putting AI into daily practice today.
Teaching and training
AI at Work
A hybrid series showing 10,000+ Claude users what working AI actually looks like — part demo, part cooking show, drawing 1,800+ people in person.
