FAQ

What is Campus Genie and how does it work?

Campus Genie unifies fragmented campus data from disconnected portals, spreadsheets, and group chats into one secure Databricks Lakehouse managed by Unity Catalog. When students ask questions, the LLM triggers secure server-side tools to stream interactive UI components directly to their device.

Why is campus data fragmented and what problems does it cause?

Campus information is scattered across a dozen disconnected portals, spreadsheets, and group chats, creating missed connections and inefficient access. Campus Genie solves this by consolidating all data into a single governed layer, enabling students to get actionable information instantly.

How does Campus Genie secure student data?

Campus Genie uses a Databricks Lakehouse architecture managed by Unity Catalog to provide a secure, governed data layer. LLM tool calls are executed server-side, ensuring data remains protected while streaming interactive UI components to students.

What technology stack does Campus Genie use?

Campus Genie combines Databricks Lakehouse for unified data governance with Unity Catalog for access control and Next.js for the interactive frontend. The LLM safely triggers structured tool calls that render live, real-time UI components from the governed data layer.

What can students do with Campus Genie's interactive UI?

Students can ask natural language questions that trigger the LLM to return interactive 3D maps and cards rendered in real-time. These components pull live data from the Databricks Lakehouse, allowing students to explore campus information through an actionable, connected interface.
