This will be an accelerated version of our popular “Intro to Generative AI” course, intended to give an overview of what Generative AI is, how it works from a high level, and how to use basic technical tools to leverage Generative AI.

Those who take this course will have the basic knowledge needed to use LLMs to create useful tools, and will have the understanding behind the technology to improve their prompt engineering skills as well.

This course is ideal for people who are interested in the Advanced Generative AI for Coders and Deep Dive into Retrieval Augmented Generation courses but have not taken classes in the technical basics of generative AI.

Prerequisites: Intermediate Python, some familiarity with AI/Machine Learning is helpful but not required.
