Versa Chat

Versa Chat is UCSF's approved generative AI chat tool you can use unlimited, for free. It’s like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, except it’s HIPAA-compliant and doesn’t save your chats or data. That means you can safely and securely use it with restricted and sensitive UCSF data and course content that shouldn’t be shared out publicly. Ready to get started with Versa Chat?
