This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress.

You’ll master prompt engineering and work with large language models (LLMs). Starting with the basics, you will learn to build AI tools, design prompts, and understand LLM mechanisms using OpenAI and Anthropic models. The journey starts with setting up your environment and learning the OpenAI Python library. You’ll then build AI-powered tools like a Git commit message generator and an AI code reviewer, reinforcing concepts such as managing model responses, controlling output, and handling costs.

This specialization is ideal for anyone interested in AI and machine learning. Basic Python knowledge is helpful. By the end, you’ll be able to craft effective prompts, design AI tools, and create real-world AI applications.

Applied Learning Project

Throughout the specialization, learners will engage in hands-on projects that guide them in applying their prompt engineering knowledge. Projects include building an AI-powered Git commit message generator and an AI code reviewer, each allowing learners to practice designing prompts, interacting with large language models, and fine-tuning outputs. These real-world applications will provide practical experience, demonstrating how prompt engineering can solve industry challenges.
