With HAWKI2, our university's own data protection-compliant platform for generative AI enters the next phase of development. The new version offers numerous improvements through even stronger integration into everyday university life, focusing on flexibility, transparency, and collaboration.
HAWKI 2 is open for everyone—join now, shape the future, and explore the possibilities of generative AI in university teaching:

What's new in HAWKI 2?
Group chats for peer-to-peer qualification
University members can now exchange ideas in interactive chat rooms—similar to WhatsApp—and additionally integrate the generative AI at any time by addressing it as an additional participant in the group. This not only facilitates extended collaboration but also provides all participants the opportunity to use and understand the generative AI together.
Export function with intelligent summarization
The new automated documentation of prompts creates transparency in AI-supported work processes—an important step for use in examinations and scientific work.
Modular architecture for rapid development
HAWKI 2 is designed so that new features can be integrated even more quickly and flexibly. This allows educational institutions that use HAWKI to tailor the platform to their specific needs. We will be adding new features at short intervals!
Various model options
By allowing the use of different language models, HAWKI opens up to intercultural perspectives and more diverse use cases in university teaching. The differently trained language models are suitable for engaging with the values, norms, cultures, and biases within their respective models. We provide a connection for the models of OpenAI, Google and various models hosted by the GWDG (for example DeepSeek or Meta Llama).
Why HAWKI 2?
The updated HAWKI ecosystem deliberately emphasizes inter-university collaboration to design generative AI in a sustainable, transparent manner tailored to the needs of universities. Unlike commercial AI applications, HAWKI prioritizes the digital sovereignty of universities. The goal is to create a connected ecosystem that allows university members to interact with generative AI in their own way—without rigid guidelines, but with clear ethical and didactic principles.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
