The Cornell Feline Health Center (CFHC) in Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine recently launched CatGPT to help connect cat owners with credible, science-based information in a novel way. Users can ask the chatbot questions about their cats, get to the answers quickly, and ask follow-up questions. CatGPT can even play games.
CatGPT is available in OpenAI’s ChatGPT app store, which features custom-built chatbots that focus on a range of topics and pull information and data from selected sources rather than the general internet. For now, access requires a subscription to ChatGPT Plus.
“If we’re not doing this, somebody else very likely will be in some way, shape, or form,” said Dr. Bruce Kornreich, DVM ’92, Ph.D. ’05, a veterinary cardiologist, director of the CFHC, and Cornell CatWatch Editor-in-Chief.
CFHC supports clinical research on feline health and educates cat owners and veterinarians using trustworthy, authoritative information through its website, newsletter, consultation service, membership, the Camuti Consultation Service, and through one-on-one communication with cat owners and veterinary professionals.
