Why should I take this course?
AI is top of mind for many developers, and Generative AI is a fascinating field that allows you to integrate AI models into your applications. This integration can help improve how your apps interact with users as the user can use natural language to interact with the app.
Heres' some great reasons to take this course:
- Learn about Generative AI technologies. If you've wanted to understand Generative AI and the potential for your applications, you're in the right place!
- Epic Time-Travel Stories. Dive into a fun tale, chatting with icons like Leonardo da Vinci, Ada Lovelace, or Montezuma in every lesson.
- Companion App. Chat with historical figures, this is all AI generated responses and use of system prompts, but try it out it's fun :)
- Learn great tools. You'll learn how to use GitHub Codespaces, GitHub Models, and Azure AI to run the code examples and interact with LLMs for free and in the cloud.
