Meet SCOUT: Helping make sense of UC Merced.
UC Merced knowledge lives across websites, documents, services, systems, and people. The answer you need is usually here somewhere… finding it is often the hard part.
SCOUT is UC Merced’s AI assistant, grounded in university knowledge and built to help make sense of it.
Ask SCOUT to help you:
- Find what you need: Policies, procedures, forms, services, and other university resources.
- Make sense of it: Bring together information from across UC Merced into answers that are easier to understand and act on.
- Get something done: Draft a communication, summarize information, explore an idea, or figure out what comes next.
Thank you Early Access participants!
Before opening SCOUT more broadly, we invited a smaller group of colleagues to put it to work during an Early Access preview. Their experiences helped us see where SCOUT is already useful, where it still needs work, and what we can learn from the institutional knowledge behind its answers. See what we learned and how those lessons are influencing what comes next.
