Case Study: Lehigh University Revitalizes Its Newspaper Archive with CustomGPT.ai

Lehigh’s AI-Driven Newspaper Archive and AI Integration

Lehigh University faced the challenge of creating a no-code AI chatbot to provide journalistic research access to over a century of its student newspaper, The Brown and White. They needed a solution that could handle an archive of more than 300 million words and eventually incorporate multimedia content.

The solution was implemented with CustomGPT.ai, which used its sitemap and crawling tools to ingest and index the vast archive. This enabled the university to build and customize the chatbot without any coding, resulting in the successful indexing of over 400 million words and paving the way for future integration of podcasts and other multimedia into the AI agent.
