AI Initiatives in the Open edX Ecosystem

This document aims to showcase the different initiatives that members of the Open edX community are building using artificial intelligence. By mapping out what is being created, we hope to better understand the use cases these tools are addressing and identify common patterns. This knowledge will help us, as a community, define better standards for integrating AI tools into the platform.

This is a living document and will continue to grow as more initiatives are identified and shared.
