does that allow project folders similar to gpt and can you generate images ?

at this rate I think local ai might be the only option

does it give you chat gpt style projects/folders to group chats ?

their licensing model prices are crazy

You haven't blocked AI sites for your staff ? but if they are not approved and not blocked won't that mean they will just use them ?

yeah this was another complaint along with lack of project and chat grouping

did you have to pay for extra data controls for copilot or is this the standard license included A1 ?

Has anyone deployed AI tools for staff across their school? We currently have Microsoft Copilot, but staff are increasingly asking for something closer to the ChatGPT like being able to easily group chats into projects, keep related work together, and generate images etc The problem I’m finding is that ChatGPT becomes very expensive once you move into the versions with proper management and security controls. ChatGPT Business/Teams seems more affordable, but from an IT admin point of view the controls still feel quite limited. For example, I can't seem to centrally/bulk disable plugins or properly lock down some of the features I wouldn't want staff using. I'm interested to know what others have deployed for staff if any ? or if you using Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or something you've built yourselves using an API?

did you end up finding one ?

I called their reception and asked if there was an update the conversation lasted 20 seconds, no harm done and nobody's time was wasted. and their update was some time ago so its not like I called them when they just announced an incident...

Anyone here uses either Securly or Smoothwall cloud filter ? I had a recent demo with securly and will have one with smoothwall next.

Hold your horses people, nothing wrong with trying. recpetion can just say no its no big deal what's the harm ? I've done it before with other schools and had some responses. If i had a cyber incident myself and someone called me from another school to ask for advise I would be happy to help!

is there any updates on this ? I tried calling them to ask about this but I couldn't get through to them. I agree that whenever things like that happen there should be some communication to help other schools avoid the same issue.

This will help with the granular blocking but it sadly wont fix their biggest issue of not categorising sites correctly, even explicitly obvious ai sites are not classed as ai sites and this is after blocking the ai bundle that LGFL offers

How does decryption work for guests or iPads that are taken home ? The boredhumans site is a weird one as lgfl is adamant on not categorising it in a way that blocks the whole site, something hopefully they can clarify tomorrow
