Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Understanding generative AI and its distinction from traditional automation
  • The impact of prompt engineering on the quality of AI outputs
  • A survey of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video tools
  • How prompt engineering delivers tangible business value

Basics of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • A simplified explanation of how large language models and diffusion models function
  • Distinguishing between training data, fine-tuning, and prompting
  • The capabilities and limitations of pre-trained models
  • Why model architecture influences prompt construction

Evaluating Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: Highlighting its strengths in Microsoft 365 integration, workflows for Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, and enterprise data grounding, while noting weaknesses in creative versatility and deep reasoning compared to competitors
  • Google Gemini: Featuring its native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding, alongside challenges such as inconsistency, regional availability, and instruction-following on complex tasks
  • ChatGPT: Recognized for its mature ecosystem, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode, but with caveats regarding factual reliability without grounding and stricter limits on premium features
  • Claude: Valued for long-context processing, nuanced reasoning, and extensive writing capabilities, though limited by a narrower tool ecosystem and image generation options
  • Selecting the optimal tool based on specific tasks, target audiences, or compliance requirements
  • A comparative walkthrough of the same prompt across all four assistants

Core Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • Establishing clarity, specificity, and context as the three foundations of a strong prompt
  • Structuring instructions, tone, format, and constraints effectively
  • Identifying common beginner errors and how to detect them
  • Refining weak prompts into high-performing ones through iteration

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

  • Distinguishing between these three approaches and understanding when to apply each
  • Analyzing model behavior to adjust examples appropriately
  • Training a model on new tasks using a few well-selected samples
