Hands-on DeepSeek: Real-World Tasks with Generative AI is a practical course designed to help developers, data scientists, and AI engineers apply generative AI to real-world problems. You'll begin by exploring how DeepSeek can support core tasks such as summarization, data processing, and code generation. As you progress, you’ll build and test intelligent workflows using memory and reasoning modules to automate responses, extract insights, and generate structured outputs. Finally, you’ll integrate DeepSeek into your own tools and pipelines to drive productivity and adaptability.
Through interactive labs, guided projects, and open-source tools like LangChain and Streamlit, you’ll develop production-ready skills for deploying AI solutions that are fast, reliable, and impactful across industries.
In this foundational lesson, learners will gain a working understanding of DeepSeek’s core capabilities and interface. The focus is on helping learners explore how to use DeepSeek for practical, real-world tasks such as code generation, structured data analysis, content transformation, and natural language querying. Through guided walkthroughs and demonstrations, learners will examine the reasoning capabilities of DeepSeek, understand its workflow integration potential, and test outputs using varied prompts. By the end of this lesson, learners will have the context and confidence to use DeepSeek as a problem-solving tool in everyday work scenarios.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the 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.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
