OpenAI 101: Build Your First Project
In this course you will learn to use the OpenAI API and ChatGPT to build a prototype for an AI product. You’ll begin with problem definition, iterate on a prototype, and in just one week deploy a usable service with the help of LLMs. In the process you’ll gain understanding of the underlying advancements underpinning the current AI revolution, and be able to apply them to your future personal and professional projects.
