Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, or simply curious about harnessing AI's capabilities, this course is designed to equip you with the strategies and techniques needed to master the art of prompting.

What You’ll Learn:

• The Importance of Prompt Engineering:
  Start your journey by exploring why prompt engineering is essential in shaping effective AI interactions and driving impactful outcomes.

• Understanding Prompts – What & How:
  Demystify the concept of a prompt using real-world analogies. Learn the differences between system, instructional, and user prompts, with a special emphasis on the critical role of system prompts in guiding AI behavior.

• Crafting Clear Instructions:
  Discover strategies for writing precise, unambiguous instructions that ensure your prompts yield the best possible responses.

• Breaking Down Complex Tasks:
  Learn how to split intricate tasks into smaller, manageable sub-tasks to simplify the prompt creation process and enhance clarity.

• Mastering Prompting Techniques:
  Gain hands-on experience with key techniques including:

  • Zero-shot prompting: Leveraging no examples to generate responses.

  • One-shot prompting: Using a single example to guide AI.

  • Few-shot prompting: Providing multiple examples for more refined outputs.

  • Chain-of-thought prompting: Encouraging the AI to articulate its reasoning process, leading to more transparent and often more accurate responses.

• Diverse Real-World Applications:
  See prompt engineering in action by developing a generative AI use case—a Digital Assistant for libraries. This practical project demonstrates how thoughtful prompt design can transform real-world scenarios.
