ArizonaAI: Enterprise AI Platform for Building Custom AI Assistants

ArizonaAI is a platform that enables departments, business and administrative units, classes, and teams to build custom AI assistants using their own data while maintaining strong governance, evaluation, and observability. The platform integrates with university authentication systems such as WebAuth, Microsoft Entra, and Brightspace D2L, and also supports assistant-specific local authentication, allowing each chatbot to enforce its own access controls. Both public and secure assistants operate with isolated data pipelines and vector stores within a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture.
