Presentation
Generative artificial intelligence is redefining business productivity standards: knowing how to interact with these systems has become a critical skill. This course will teach you to structure your interactions with large language models (LLMs), turning simple requests into powerful ways to improve performance.
Beyond exploring tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney, you will master the art of prompt engineering. Learn to formulate targeted instructions to obtain professional-quality results instantly, from writing to coding.
By the end of the course, you will be able to automate your workflows and integrate AI into your business processes. Through role-specific workshops in Marketing, HR, Finance and IT, you will acquire practical methods to accelerate your everyday tasks immediately.
Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- understand how generative AI models (LLMs and GANs) work and their use cases;
- write structured, effective prompts to maximise response relevance;
- apply advanced techniques (chain-of-thought and few-shot prompting) to complex tasks;
- automate content production and data analysis using AI;
- integrate AI tools into specific business workflows in Marketing, HR, Finance and IT.
Program
Module 1: learning the fundamentals of prompt engineering
