Build practical skills for designing, grounding, and improving generative AI applications with Google Cloud Vertex AI. In this Specialization, you’ll learn how prompt design, Gemini models, embeddings, vector search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) work together to produce more useful and grounded AI experiences. You’ll begin with generative AI and large language model fundamentals, then explore prompt engineering and Vertex AI Studio. As you progress, you’ll work with text and multimodal embeddings, grounding techniques, controlled generation, and multimodal Gemini use cases. You’ll then apply these concepts to semantic search, hybrid search, multimodal RAG, and LLM-powered application architectures. By the end, you’ll be able to: Design effective prompts for generative AI applications. Ground model responses using retrieval, embeddings, and your own data. Build semantic and hybrid search workflows with Vertex AI Vector Search. Develop multimodal and RAG-based applications using Gemini and Vertex AI. This Specialization is designed for developers, cloud practitioners, and technical learners who want hands-on experience building generative AI solutions with Google Cloud.

This was an impressive learning experience that improved my analytical thinking skills and strengthened my professional knowledge. It was a productive and rewarding experience.
DG
Basic foundation about terminology and concept if LLms. Builds foundation for further course
AH
I liked the course it was very helping for understanding the basic of Vertex Ai in Google Cloud
DC
The labs have a lot of waiting for services to spin up (but it gives you time to read and understand more I suppose)
KR
Great introduction to all the RAG related features with a simple python notebook. Cannot get better than that.
YB
Great Course on Gen AI , and to be recommended to all college Engineering Students and the ones who are keen on learning on Gen AI and its Models to work on projects and other works
MS
Very elementary and short course. It is biased towards Google products, but that's expected. Overall a good course!
HC
Very informative and easy to understand, makes the learning go very smooth.
MT
Very interesting course on Vector Search and Embeddings!
NG
It is a good course,gives me a lot of knowledge about what is generative ai and discriminative ai,how to write a prompt and get appropriate answer regarding to your prompt writing.
SL
a simple primer on LLMs although the quiz can be tricky. perhaps a bit more use cases can be shared?
AM
This course is very useful to those who really wants to study and do great work in Ai field

An amazing and very straight forward course. Even a complete beginner can easily follow along. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an introductory course to generative A.I.
I rally enjoyed and well learn from this Genrative AI course Dr. Gevendolyn stripliting Explained every topic very deep way and with good examples . Thankyou Coursera team for this course.
I thought I was signing up and paying for a complete course. This is a money grab from Coursea to take what seems like open information from Google and charge for it. This is a 20 minute presentation that is falsely advertised as a "course" complete with a completely useless certificate.
This is a beginner friendly course here I leant the concepts in depth. I have just heard about these words and kept wondering for a proper clarity in my concept and this course has made it!
This course is so short. There is an exact version that Google offers for free. This paid version had more content, but it is the same as the free version. Disappointed that Coursera would do this.
This is NOT a beginner course. After listening to the 20-minute lecture and reading some of the material, I was more confused than before I started. I hope to find something more fundamental on Coursera or elsewhere.
This honestly was pretty pointless. Just a video that was like these are the different types of AI. One video and some external readings.
Imma be honest this is the first course I took and I am happy it is. Cannot believe this is free. The quality is amazing and I really liked the pdf file you gave. Thank you
This is very good basic course which give you an overview of what Gen AI is and what are the possibilities you can use with this.
The instructor was very good in explaining everything but the course was too basic and i think she should've told how these can be helpful and how we can use them to build apps or software i guess this information for the beginners should make a curiosity in their mind that oh these are the places where i can find these models and using it this way will help me build it and the idea would come to the reality but still i enjoyed the course very much the way she provided the basic information to each models. Thank You mam,
Thank You Team Google Thank You Coursera for such platform and courses.
"The 'Introduction to Generative AI' course was an incredibly enriching experience. The content was well-structured, providing a comprehensive understanding of generative AI concepts. The instructors presented complex topics in a digestible manner, making it accessible even for those new to the field. The hands-on exercises and practical examples were particularly insightful, allowing for a deeper grasp of how generative AI works in real-world scenarios. Overall, a fantastic introductory course for anyone keen on exploring the fascinating realm of AI generation."
This was a basic course and was pretty very very easy. No practical implementation was included by using Google cloud. I hope the upcoming week may bring those as well.
This is really useful for beginner who wants to understand about generative AI and what it does basically. One must go for it.
It was exceptional. I learned a lot and the video was clear, precise and too-the -point. In such a short period of time I gained tonnes of knowledge.
Overall I really like this course because all lectures, assignments, and tests are straight forward. A couple things I dislike about the class are that there should be more opportunities for extra credit and it would be awesome if the final was an objective essay about what we have learned in this class or what we like about the class. I believe that I have more knowledge about ocean, weather, and marine lives and hopefully, I can use them in real life.
It was very great experience for beginners to understand the Gen AI. Introduction to Generative AI course give me very detail explanation about the Gen AI. Where I was able to describe and distinguish between AI and Machine learning models easily. The available notes and articles are easy to read and understand about the future of it. Thanks for giving me such good experience and knowledge about the same.
Really good course for understanding the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, as well as the role of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI and the varrious models and techniques used.
Es un muy buen inicio cuando queremos aprender sobre IA, la informacion esta muy bien implementada las lecturas son muy interesantes y nos dan un acercamiento a la forma como evolucionan las IA.
