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
