About the Course

ChatGPT and other large language models are going to be more important in your life and business than your smartphone, if you use them right. ChatGPT can tutor your child in math, generate a meal plan and recipes, write software applications for your business, help you improve your personal cybersecurity, and that is just in the first hour that you use it. This course will teach you how to be an expert user of these generative AI tools. The course will show amazing examples of how you can tap into these generative AI tools' emergent intelligence and reasoning, how you can use them to be more productive day to day, and give you insight into how they work. Large language models respond to instructions and questions posed by users in natural language statements, known as “prompts”. Although large language models will disrupt many fields, most users lack the skills to write effective prompts. Expert users, who understand how to write good prompts, are orders of magnitude more productive and can unlock significantly more creative uses for these tools. This course introduces students to the patterns and approaches for writing effective prompts for large language models. Anyone can take the course and the only required knowledge is basic computer usage skills, such as using a browser and accessing ChatGPT. Students will start with basic prompts and build towards writing sophisticated prompts to solve problems in any domain. By the end of the course, students will have strong prompt engineering skills and be capable of using large language models for a wide range of tasks in their job, business, personal life, and education, such as writing, summarization, game play, planning, simulation, and programming....

Most of us tend to fall into using LLM like a better search engine. This course took me beyond the typical use case of ask a query and get a response. Highly recommend this case if you are looking to "leverage" the might of an LLM and understand how different models respond to prompts. Thank you for making this an easy to follow course.

An excellent introduction in simple terms. The professor made the topic approachable. Exercises were intuitive and straightforward. I now think more strategically about prompts. And I have a flexible toolkit of patterns to refine and improve prompt structure and use to optimize ChatGPT outputs and expand their application. Thank you!

Excellent course. Loved the hands-on assignments. Appreciate the white papers, but would love to have the same info in an easy to read and reference PDF doc- e.g. list of prompt types with examples just as in the "reading" portions of the course. Jules did a fantastic job of creating energy and excitement in the video presentations.

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT is a fantastic course on the power, potential and, yes, the limitations of Large Language Models and how skilful and creative Prompt Engineering can maximise their potential to supplement rather than supplant an individual's skillset. Highly Recommended for complete beginners and early adopters alike!

Recommended Course. The key aspect of the course is its ability to provide metacognitive notions that allow the learner to confidently, responsibly, and creatively transpose the learned outcomes of prompt engineering into different use cases. The course is well-thought-through, smartly built, and enjoyable. I loved every bit of it.

The course was well presented and mind expanding, in a creative way! Thank you! The course could be enhanced with engaging content for visual/graphical learners. For example: Personification of the AI and human interactions as actual characters, as in a cartoon illustration.

Thanks again!
