How Lehigh University Indexed 140 Years of Journalism Into an AI Research Assistant - No Code

#ai

Lehigh University's student newspaper, The Brown and White, has been publishing since the 19th century - over 140 years of continuous student journalism documenting campus history, institutional decisions, and student movements. A cognitive science student named Nina Cialone was tasked with building an AI agent trained on the entire archive. Using CustomGPT.ai's no-code platform and sitemap ingestion tools, she indexed 400 million words including podcast episodes and multimedia content, with zero custom code written, in a single semester. The deployed AI research assistant answers natural-language questions about 140 years of institutional history with citations to the specific historical articles from which each answer was drawn - because CustomGPT.ai's anti-hallucination architecture generates from retrieved archive content only and declines rather than fabricates when content is insufficient.
