About AI Workbench

AI Workbench is a place for colleagues at UNM to compare experiments with AI in humanities research. We collect accounts of working with sources, bibliographies, maps, models, and drafts, with enough detail that someone else can try a workflow and question its results.

What an experiment should show

Describe the original task and source material, the tool and prompts, and the output. Explain what you checked, what you corrected, and what remains uncertain. A transcription can help locate a name while remaining too unreliable to quote. A suggested interpretation still needs evidence.

We welcome partial results, unsuccessful attempts, and decisions not to use AI. Time and cost are useful when the account explains what they include. One attempt does not establish how a tool will perform on other material.

Two companion sites

AI Workbench covers research. AI Sketchbook covers teaching: classroom activities and assignments. Both are projects of Amaranth Digital Humanities Studio at the University of New Mexico and use the same Markdown-based site structure.

Contribute

Faculty, students, librarians, and staff are welcome to share an experiment. Email a draft or read the contribution guide. Bring an idea to Amaranth studio hours at Mesa Vista Hall 2068.
