This fast-paced, hands-on course takes learners from understanding how large language models process text to building practical AI workflows using structured prompts and simple agent-style setups. Participants start with basics like tokenization and hallucinations, move into advanced prompting patterns such as chain-of-thought, role prompting, tree-of-thoughts, and self-critique, and then explore image generation with tools like Midjourney. The course ends with a capstone where learners connect these techniques into an “AI agent” that can solve a small, end‑to‑end task like research, content drafting, or simple task automation.
