Applied Prompt Engineering with ChatGPT

Artificial intelligence is transforming how we work, but getting the best results from large language models requires more than just simple questions. Knowing how to structure your instructions effectively unlocks the true potential of conversational AI. In this text-based course, you will transition from basic chat interactions to designing sophisticated prompts that yield predictable, high-quality outputs. You will explore structured framework design, learn how to automate professional workflows, and understand how to integrate AI capabilities into wider applications. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational mechanics of generative AI, large language models, and key terminology. - Apply advanced prompt engineering patterns, including few-shot prompting and chain-of-thought reasoning. - Design system instructions and custom personas to control the tone, style, and safety of AI outputs. - Explore retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) concepts and how external data sources enhance AI accuracy. - Identify common limitations like AI hallucination and learn strategies to mitigate bias and errors. - Integrate ChatGPT capabilities into external tools and automated workflows for increased productivity. You will begin by learning core AI concepts and terminology before moving step-by-step through practical prompting strategies and integration methods. Through written explanations and descriptive scenarios, you will build a solid framework for deploying AI assistance in real-world environments. This course is designed for professionals and beginners eager to leverage generative AI, requiring no prior programming experience.
