About

Learn to augment and amplify your human creativity and critical thinking with Generative AI. By the end of the course, you will be able to use Generative AI as an exoskeleton for your mind. In this hands-on specialization, you will learn how to tap into the emerging capabilities of large language models to automate tasks, increase productivity, and augment human intelligence. Through a series of practical courses, you will gain skills to apply these tools in your work, education, and daily life. The specialization provides starts at the beginning with fundamental knowledge and moves to advanced skills for prompt engineering - the art of crafting instructions for large language models. You will start from basics and by the end, be capable of leveraging these models' reasoning abilities for a wide range of automation and intelligence augmentation applications. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to use prompts and conversations with ChatGPT to accomplish amazing feats such as: writing and outlining 10X faster brainstorming new ways of solving problems planning complex events, trips, processes, etc. automatically generating PowerPoint presentations and visualizations from Excel data extracting key information from PDFs and documents producing marketing content from transcripts and videos or that are personalized for specific customers Applied Learning Project Learners will do everything from tapping into emergent reasoning capabilities using personas to producing social media posts with Generative AI. Each course includes multiple hands-on prompt engineering exercises that will incrementally build your prompt engineering skills.

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT

Coursera
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.
