AI Gateway pilot: what it is, who it’s for, and how to join

Tuesday, January 6, 2026
The University of Iowa is launching a pilot for an AI tool that will allow access to multiple models. Iowa's AI Gateway is a pilot that allows us to test a secure, centrally managed AI workspace for teaching, research, and administrative work. The pilot runs from early February through April 2026, is no cost, and is open to up to 250 faculty and staff. Participants will use the tool during the pilot period and share feedback on where it helps and where it doesn’t.
