Embark on a hands-on journey into Generative AI using Amazon Bedrock and Python. Learn to build conversational chatbots, leverage RAG architecture, automate workflows, and generate structured outputs and images. Gain practical skills and a solid foundation for AI application development.

This course begins by introducing the fundamentals of Amazon Bedrock and setting up the required Python environment. Learners explore how to interact with Bedrock's API and understand LLMs through engaging, easy-to-follow examples. Early lessons provide the building blocks for creating AI applications. Next, students dive into practical projects, starting with conversational chatbots and RAG-based solutions. Modules cover generating structured outputs, AI agents, and multimodal content including images. Data automation using Bedrock Data Automation (BDA) is demonstrated, ensuring learners can streamline AI workflows efficiently. The final part of the journey focuses on observability, safeguards, and troubleshooting. Learners discover how to implement programmatic guardrails and handle common errors, concluding with practical exercises and inspiring use cases. By course end, students are equipped to confidently prototype and deploy AI applications using Amazon Bedrock. This course is ideal for programmers, technical managers, and AI enthusiasts seeking practical knowledge of Generative AI with Amazon Bedrock. Learners should have basic Python skills and a beginner-level understanding of LLMs. Both coders and non-technical professionals benefit by gaining hands-on experience and understanding real-world AI applications, enabling them to engage confidently with AI projects or supervise AI-driven initiatives. The course blends concise lectures, hands-on demos, and step-by-step projects to guide learners. It starts with foundational setup and API interaction, progresses to building chatbots and RAG applications, and concludes with data automation, safeguards, and troubleshooting for practical mastery.
