A basic understanding of programming, APIs and HTTP requests, and web development concepts is helpful before you start. Because the course is intermediate, it also helps to have experience with at least one programming language and be comfortable testing API responses.

The course centers on Claude's API as the main platform for building the app. Learners also work with prompt engineering and conversation design methods to shape text generation, question answering, and multi-turn interactions.

You practice authenticating to the API, sending and interpreting requests, writing stronger prompts, and adding text generation and question-answering features. You also design conversation flows that preserve context and memory, then combine those pieces into a complete interactive AI app.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
