CurreChat: university-controlled LLM chat and course-material RAG

Evidence & verification

Source level

Repository-documented
Grounded in a maintainer repository/README. Availability, stars and forks do not establish research benefit or correctness.

Outcome verification

Not empirically evaluated here
A documented resource or intended workflow, not a demonstrated academic outcome. No empirical benefit is established by its inclusion.

Sources checked

Primary README only; source-documented capabilities, not independent evaluation.

Source-checked does not mean independently reproduced. See the Method page for how these labels are assigned.

Research applicability

Useful infrastructure for academic source-based question answering and educator-controlled AI assistance; this relevance is editorial, not measured efficacy.

Getting started

Editorial suggestion, not tested: read the README and local development/environment requirements; evaluate on permitted nonconfidential course material and check answers against originals before any institutional use.

Maintenance

Documentation retrieved on recorded access dates; maintenance reliability not assessed.

License

No independent license/dependency or rights audit. Check repository terms and rights to source data before reuse.

Workflow & human oversight

Resource-level automation left unspecified. Researchers/educators choose materials, govern model access and verify interpretations and outputs.

Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.

Approach

The README describes access by enrolment/staff role, teacher-controlled system prompts and course-material retrieval. Azure provides OpenAI model access and S3 holds uploaded/processed files.

Limitations

README-only review, not implementation or security audit. Institutional role-based access and a development setup are documented; availability outside Helsinki is not established. Uploaded files use S3 and OpenAI models use Azure, so confidentiality and retention need institutional review. No educational/research benefit, answer accuracy or privacy compliance evaluated.

Reproducibility

Primary-source documentation/excerpt review only. No installation, tests, model training, deployment or outcome reproduction.

Adoption requirements

Documented development path requires npm, Docker/Compose and environment configuration, with PostgreSQL, Redis, Ollama, Azure and S3/MinIO services. Institutional access/data governance must be assessed.
