In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn the basics of communicating with the OpenAI API through prompts specifically designed for Python code generation aimed at data visualization and analysis. This course is tailored to address a unique real-world scenario where you have been hired by an online toy store company called Toy Trendz to help them analyze their product sales data. They have provided you with a sales dataset related to the year 2018 and have presented analytical questions that require effective visualizations.

The challenge in this project lies in Toy Trendz's desire for a system that can convert human language into visualizations based on the data. You will start by learning how to effectively prompt GPT-4 to generate Python code, unlocking the power of natural language understanding to create customized data visualizations. To get the most out of this course, you'll need access to the OpenAI API and a basic understanding of data analysis concepts, including data types, data manipulation, along with some familiarity with Python. This course is for those who are experienced data analysis with at least a basic knowledge in Python and want to explore the exciting applications of generative AI in data visualization and analysis.
