Overview
A cohort-based program focused on practical generative AI: LLM APIs, retrieval, tool use, evaluation, and lightweight agent patterns. You will ship projects that look like what teams build today, not toy demos.
Who it's for
- Developers adding GenAI to existing products
- Engineers preparing for AI application roles
- Builders who want structured evaluation and safety habits early
What you will learn
Curriculum breakdown, from foundations to portfolio-ready work.
Prompting & APIs
Patterns that survive real usage.
- Prompt design, structured outputs, and failure cases
- OpenAI-style APIs, streaming, and cost awareness
- Caching, batching, and observability basics
RAG & knowledge systems
Grounded answers with measurable quality.
- Chunking, embeddings, and retrieval strategies
- Re-ranking and hybrid search concepts
- Evaluation sets and regression testing for answers
Agents & deployment
From script to maintainable service.
- Tool-calling patterns and guardrails
- Simple agent workflows with clear boundaries
- Capstone: GenAI feature with eval harness
Key features
- Hybrid live workshops + on-demand modules
- Hands-on labs with real API workflows
- Mentor feedback on architecture and prompts
- Assignments with rubric-based grading
- Interview-style system design for AI features
Projects
RAG assistant
Document-grounded Q&A with citations and a small eval suite.
Tool-using workflow
A constrained agent that calls tools safely with logging and retries.
Outcomes
Skills gained
Ability to design, evaluate, and iterate GenAI features responsibly.
Job readiness
Talk confidently about retrieval, eval, and failure handling.
Portfolio
Deployable demos with clear documentation and metrics.
