Building Generative AI Chat Apps with Foundry

Generative AI is transforming how we interact with technology, but building a production-ready chat application requires the right foundational tools. This text-based course guides you through the process of constructing intelligent chat interfaces using the Foundry platform. You will transition from understanding basic generative AI concepts to structuring your own AI projects and implementing functional chat backends. By reading through clear code examples and conceptual breakdowns, you will gain the skills needed to configure AI responses, manage conversation context, and deploy responsive chat applications. What you'll learn: Understand foundational generative AI concepts and chat architecture; Configure and manage projects within the Foundry development environment; Implement the Responses API to generate dynamic, context-aware conversational replies; Apply basic prompt engineering principles to guide AI behavior and tone; Structure chat history and manage conversation state effectively; Practice deploying and testing your chat application through structured text walk-throughs. The course begins with core definitions and terminology of generative models before guiding you step-by-step through setting up your first project. You will then explore how to leverage the Responses API to handle user queries and manage conversation flow. This course is designed for beginner developers and tech enthusiasts who want to build their first AI chat application, with no prior experience with AI development or the Foundry platform required.
