Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Understanding generative AI and how it diverges from conventional automation
  • The impact of prompt engineering on the quality of AI outputs
  • A survey of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video generation tools
  • Identifying where prompt engineering creates tangible business value

Foundations of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • Simplified explanations of how large language models and diffusion models function
  • Distinguishing between training data, fine-tuning, and prompting
  • Assessing the capabilities and limitations of pre-trained models
  • Understanding how model architecture influences prompt construction

Comparing Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: highlights include deep integration with Microsoft 365, Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, alongside enterprise data grounding; limitations involve creative range and depth of reasoning relative to competitors
  • Google Gemini: strengths lie in native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding; challenges include consistency issues, regional availability, and handling complex instructions
  • ChatGPT: advantages include a mature ecosystem, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode; drawbacks include factual reliability without external grounding and strict usage limits on premium features
  • Claude: excels in long-context processing, nuanced reasoning, extensive writing, and clear analysis; limitations concern the breadth of its tool ecosystem and image generation capabilities
  • Selecting the optimal tool based on specific tasks, target audiences, or compliance requirements
  • A comparative walkthrough applying identical prompts across all four assistants

Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • The three core elements of a robust prompt: clarity, specificity, and context
  • Organizing instructions, tone, format, and constraints effectively
  • Identifying and avoiding common errors made by beginners
  • Refining weak prompts into high-performance ones through iteration

Zero-Shot, One-Shot, and Few-Shot Prompting

  • Distinguishing between these three approaches and determining appropriate use cases
  • Interpreting model behavior to adjust examples effectively
  • Guiding a model toward new tasks using a small number of well-selected samples

Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques

  • Crafting conditional and context-aware prompts for nuanced results
  • Employing style transfer, persona prompting, and creative direction
  • Utilizing chain-of-thought and step-by-step reasoning prompts
  • Mitigating hallucinations, ambiguity, and bias in generated responses

Few-Shot Fine-Tuning Without Code

  • Defining few-shot fine-tuning and differentiating it from full model training
  • Adapting models to niche tasks through example-driven prompting
  • Determining when prompt engineering is sufficient versus when fine-tuning is a better investment
  • Assessing output quality and refining results through iterative processes

Hyper-Realistic Text Generation

  • Generating text with precise control over tone, voice, and length
