ChatAD is an AI-powered research assistant for Alzheimer’s Disease. It searches ADNI documentation — including protocols, policies, consent forms, and procedures — and browses over 322 datasets from the AD Data Initiative (ADDI) catalogue, helping researchers quickly find relevant data for their studies. Sources are cited in every response.
A practical introduction to agentic AI for researchers: what it is, the PHI-safe tools available at UCSF (ChatGPT Enterprise and the Versa API), and worked examples with skills, Codex, and MCP connectors. Presented to the UCSF Brain Health Registry by Pedro Pinheiro-Chagas.
