Building AI-Powered Products

From Idea to Production: Create Real AI Applications

Move beyond using AI to building with AI. This course teaches you to create production-ready AI applications. You'll learn to integrate AI APIs, build RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems, work with vector databases, optimize costs, and deploy scalable AI products. Practical, hands-on, production-focused.
