Applied AI Mastery: From First Principles to Production AI

Applied AI Mastery is a practical course for people who want to understand AI and build with it, not just read about it. Every module follows the same pattern: a focused concept, a hands-on lab you run yourself, and a checkpoint to confirm you’ve got it. What you’ll learn How machine learning, neural networks and transformers work, in plain language How to write prompts that give reliable, structured results How to build with LLM APIs, including multi-turn state and JSON output How to build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over your own documents How to design tool-using agents with proper guardrails How to evaluate AI output and manage risks such as hallucination, bias and prompt injection
