Course Philosophy

We Ask AI to Do Things
Two out of three is not good enough

As I wrote in my article "We Ask AI to Do Things", success with AI requires aligning three critical elements:

1. The Prompt

How we ask - strategic prompt engineering

2. The Model

The AI we use - must match the task

3. The Objective

What we are trying to accomplish - real problems

This course teaches you to master all three. You will learn to align prompts, models, and objectives to build AI products that actually work and solve real problems.
