AI in 30: Copilot Notebooks for Grounded Reasoning

Wednesday, October 7, 2026

12 noon – 12:30 pm, Central

Karl Kodweis, Assistant Professor, College of Pharmacy

Get more reliable answers from AI by controlling what it can see, not just how you prompt it. This session introduces a practical approach to document-scoped reasoning in Microsoft Copilot Notebooks, showing how AI can ground its analysis entirely within material you upload, such as syllabi, research, or meeting notes, while you remain the one setting the scope and judging the result. We will run a live curriculum audit on a real course module, showing how narrowing the source set changes what the AI finds, so you leave with a repeatable way to scope any AI tool you already use, without giving up speed for reliability.
