The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has created an unprecedented opportunity for innovation across industries, but its complexity often presents a steep learning curve for many (Roberts & Candi, 2024; Gunner, 2025). This highlights the need for user-friendly tools that bridge the gap between AI's potential and its practical application. Developed by the AI Acceleration unit at Arizona State University (ASU), the CreateAI Platform is breaking down these barriers, revolutionizing how AI is built, explored, and deployed. Designed to empower the ASU community, CreateAI is more than a technology platform--it is a transformative ecosystem that integrates pre-built models, streamlined workflows, and scalable infrastructure. By minimizing costs and complexity, CreateAI lowers barriers to entry, fosters inclusivity, and empowers users of all backgrounds to engage with AI. Its emphasis on accessibility, security, and adaptability ensures that innovation is accelerated while maintaining a user-friendly and secure environment.
