ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers

Go beyond the chat box. Use API access to leverage LLMs into your own applications, and learn to build a custom chatbot. In ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers, you will learn how to use a large language model (LLM) to quickly build new and powerful applications. Using the OpenAI API, you’ll be able to quickly build capabilities that learn to innovate and create value in ways that were cost-prohibitive, highly technical, or simply impossible before now. This short course taught by Isa Fulford (OpenAI) and Andrew Ng (DeepLearning.AI) will describe how LLMs work, provide best practices for prompt engineering, and show how LLM APIs can be used in applications for a variety of tasks, including: - Summarizing (e.g., summarizing user reviews for brevity) - Inferring (e.g., sentiment classification, topic extraction) - Transforming text (e.g., translation, spelling & grammar correction) - Expanding (e.g., automatically writing emails) In addition, you’ll learn two key principles for writing effective prompts, how to systematically engineer good prompts, and also learn to build a custom chatbot. All concepts are illustrated with numerous examples, which you can play with directly in our Jupyter notebook environment to get hands-on experience with prompt engineering

It's a great and short beginner course. Would recommend as a first step. Though instructions were very unclear on how to set up in local jupyter notebook

Great course for developers to begin to understand the inner works of an AI app. Needs a bit of Python coding knowledge.

Great short course that gave me a much better understanding of the background of LLMs and chatbots. Wish I could take the quiz without a paid sub.
