How to create a Maizey project.

Resolution

If you are creating a Maizey project for a Canvas course, see the article Getting Started with Maizey Canvas Connector. The steps outlined in this article are for creating Maizey projects using Dropbox, Google Drive, or a public website. Learn more about supported file types in U-M Maizey.

Follow the steps below to create a new Maizey project. If you’ve already created a Maizey project and want to add Maizey apps to it, see creating Maizey apps for more information.

How Maizey Works

There are two main elements in Maizey:

  • Maizey project: You start by building a Maizey project. Within a project, you can create multiple Maizey apps. Depending on the types of apps you add to your project, data sources can be linked either within the project or within the app.
  • Maizey apps: Within a project, you can build multiple apps for different purposes/audiences, each drawing from the data sources you provide.
    • Legacy Chat app: A standard chatbot that draws on data sources you add to the Maizey project.
    • Batch app: Enables you to evaluate a collection of documents using the same instructions and questions, then download the results as a structured CSV file. Data sources are added directly to the app.

Sign in and Create a New Project

Sign into U-M Maizey with your uniqname and UMICH password and complete multi-factor authentication (MFA).

  • Click Submit.
