Learn to Use AI Critically
Generative Universal Assistant for Resourceful Development
Hands-on labs that teach educators to formulate effective prompts, evaluate AI outputs, and recognize failure modes — through structured experimentation with a real AI.
Good to know before you start
Powered by a free model
By default, GUARD runs on minimax/minimax-m2.5, a free model that works without sign-up or an API key. It is intended to get you through the labs immediately; if you want stronger or more specialized models, you can switch later in Settings.
Unlock more powerful models
Want to run ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, or another OpenRouter model directly inside GUARD? Add your own OpenRouter API key on the Settings page to unlock the full model catalogue and choose the endpoint that best fits your workflow.
Use your own AI interface
You don't have to use GUARD's built-in chat at all. Each lab assembles a structured prompt scaffold that you can copy into any AI interface — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or any other tool you already use.
