NAMPA, Idaho - s4story -- College of Western Idaho (CWI) is innovating the college experience by partnering with GuardRailz AI, (https://guardrailz.com/ai) a local startup company.

Using Guardrailz, faculty can build course-specific AI assistants, monitor student engagement, and provide personalized AI-driven learning experiences tailored to each student's needs. Students have access to AI-powered resources that can help with improving comprehension, and practicing essential skills while developing AI literacy.

"Artificial Intelligence is clearly a transformative advancement that will shape all our lives," said CWI President Gordon Jones. "As a college dedicated to student learning, we strive to provide not only traditional knowledge but also the latest insights from emerging technologies like AI. We're excited to lean into how AI can inform, educate, and advance the work of our students and faculty."

While other AI tools provide generic chatbot access, GuardRailz AI delivers a fully integrated, educator-driven experience that ensures AI is used responsibly, effectively, and in alignment with academic goals, using multiple multi-modal AI models.

"The key difference with GuardRailz AI is that it's designed for educators first," said Brian Jagger, Founder of GuardRailz AI. "Other AI platforms give students access to a chatbot, but we built a system that puts faculty in control—allowing them to create AI-driven experiences that adapt to each student and align with coursework."
