Other AI Tools (not assessed by AIT)
There are other AI tools besides those approved by AIT. Here you will find an overview of the most relevant tools. It is important to continuously stay informed about the available options and choose the right AI tools. There is no single tool that can solve everything, and development is moving so fast that your favorites can quickly seem outdated when new and smarter solutions emerge.
The AI tools listed below have not been assessed or approved, and you should therefore pay particular attention to data security and, consequently, to what information you share with the AI tool. It is your responsibility to comply with GDPR and data security requirements.
If you have questions or would like advice on AI tools, you can contact IT-supporten.
The large, generalized AI models can be used for many different tasks – from text generation to analysis and automation.
- OpenAI ChatGPT: Advanced language model for text generation, summarization, idea development, and coding.
- Google Gemini: Answers questions, generates text, and assists with research.
- Anthropic Claude: Secure and user-friendly chatbot for text, analysis, and brainstorming.
- Grok: Known for fast responses based on current data – ideal for information retrieval and dialogue.
- Deepseek: AI model with strong capabilities in coding, text generation, and analysis – well-suited for technical and research-related tasks.
- Mistral Le Chat: European-developed AI model known for high accuracy, strong data protection, and the ability to run locally – suitable for both text generation and analysis
These models can be used as a supplement to Copilot tools, for example, to generate teaching materials, prepare research proposals, or automate administrative tasks. They also differ in language and internal filtering, so you might prefer the tone of Claude or enjoy that Grok responds to everything without restrictions.
Automatic transcription and meeting summaries save time and ensure that knowledge from meetings and lectures is preserved.
- Microsoft Teams Premium: (add-on license) Live transcription and meeting summaries. Included in Copilot 365 but can be purchased separately without paying for a full Copilot 365 license. The secure alternative, as it is covered under our Enterprise Data Protection agreement with Microsoft, just like Copilot Chat and Copilot 365.
- Goodtape.io: Danish-developed tool for automatic transcription of audio and video, easy to use for both teaching and meetings. Supports Danish and several other languages and allows editing of the transcription directly in the browser.
- Otter.ai: Automatically transcribes meetings and lectures, generates summaries and key points.
Be generally cautious with free solutions that are invited to create summaries of meetings. DTU does not have agreements with these, and many are highly invasive, automatically joining all virtual meetings.
AI can now create professional images and videos in just seconds. This opens up creative possibilities in teaching, communication, and research.
- DALL·E (ChatGPT): Generates images from text descriptions – useful for illustrations, slides, and posters. DALL-E is also included in Copilot Chat.
- Midjourney: Creates original images with high aesthetic quality; popular among designers and educators.
- Stable Diffusion: Open-source alternative for image generation, can be run locally on your own machine.
- RunwayML: Platform for both image and video editing with AI, e.g., automatic background removal or video generation.
- Google Veo: Advanced AI model for video generation that creates realistic and creative videos from text descriptions – ideal for teaching, communication, and creative projects.
- Nano Banana (Gemini): New, efficient image generation model focused on fast and resource-saving image production – particularly well-suited for tasks requiring lightweight solutions or local deployment.
AI-assisted development is advancing at a furious pace. What began as a productivity-enhancing aid—where AI handled much of the “grunt work”—has evolved to the point where AI can now produce large portions, if not all, of the necessary code and, with just a few prompts and in a short time, solve problems that developers have struggled with for a long time.
- Qodo: AI-powered coding assistant that suggests code, auto-completes functions, and helps with debugging directly in popular editors like VS Code and JetBrains.
- Tabnine: Intelligent code suggestions and auto-completion powered by machine learning, making coding faster for both beginners and experienced developers.
- GitHub Copilot: Collaboration tool with AI that provides code suggestions and assistance based on large amounts of open-source code, streamlining the development process.
- Claude Code: Can generate code to build entire systems and solve even highly complex tasks.
Also remember – as always when using AI – to keep human oversight in place, so that silly AI mistakes don’t compromise security or create unnecessarily complex solutions that become difficult to maintain.
