More Information

GovTEAMS(Opens in a new tab/window)(Opens in a new tab/window) is a secure collaboration platform tailored for Australian Public Service staff, enabling seamless inter-agency cooperation. With GovTEAMS, every user has a verified identity, ensuring secure connections and collaboration. This platform allows APS staff to easily access shared resources and services across the entire network, regardless of their agency affiliation.
The Interactive Learning Environment is designed as a training tool to provide hands-on experience with generative AI, with safeguards to ensure privacy and security. It’s meant for learning only, not work purposes. You may only use publicly accessible information, as the system is not equipped to handle official or classified content. Additionally, there is a daily limit on prompt usage.

Interactive Learning Environment

Learn how to use generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Our interactive learning environment gives you a space to experiment with these tools and discover how they can enhance your work.

Our Learning Environment is designed for users at all stages of their AI journey:

The beginner course covers essential prompt writing skills to enhance your AI interactions.
The intermediate course takes your generative AI skills to the next level with prompt engineering techniques to boost your interactions.
Advanced users can adjust model parameters (like temperature) to see how these settings influence the output.

You're free to explore and use the app at your own pace, with or without following the guided learning content.
