We'll do that through hands-on exercises, providing you with practical knowledge and real-world applications.

And after learning about ChatGPT and DALL-E, we'll see how to use them as part of Azure OpenAI Service, that provides API for using these services, and harness the power, reliability and security of Azure with the creativity of these models.

Microsoft is a major investor in OpenAI, and that means that Azure offers extensive support to OpenAI models. And this course will show you exactly how to practically utilize these models and customize them for your needs in Azure.


Here are some of the topics we'll learn in this course:


- Introduction to ChatGPT and DALL-E

- Prompt Engineering with ChatGPT

- Introduction to Azure OpenAI Service

- Adding your own data to OpenAI models

- Working with OpenAI's APIs

- Publishing an App Service based on OpenAI model

- Securing Azure OpenAI Service

And even a bonus section about Azure AI Content Safety, a new service that helps you automatically moderate and filter user generated content.


This course is extremely practical. We're not going to just learn the theory and view slides. There's going to be a lot of hands-on work with Azure, the new Microsoft AI Foundry, Postman for using the API, and the AI Content Safety service.


There's no other course like this! This is the first, and only, course that will take you all the way from the absolute basics of ChatGPT, DALL-E and Azure OpenAI Service to the most advanced topics, making you a real expert in this field.

Sometimes i find it hard to follow the process. Too many "click here and there" without a previous explanation of what are we doing and why. For me, a non expert person, this is just a long to-do-list providing me no intuition.

By Anonymized User on 3/18/2024

Excellent course. Very easy to understand as everything has been explained in details with a demo on the platform and the pace of the training is excellent. Learnt more and in details through this course. Gave me more confidence to implement solutions. A big thank you to Memi.

By Jennifer Koenig on 2/19/2024

Very thorough sections on security for Azure Open AI (private endpoints, RBAC authorization), Content Safety, and how to use the API. I appreciate the practicality of the examples: instead of just showing you code, Memi shows you step by step what you need to know to call the API from Postman, which is not always obvious.

By Graham Watkins on 12/31/2023

So much useful information and well presented. This course covers everything in a great deal of detail and makes it easy to understand. The hands-on demos really help you to learn the technologies and put things in to practice.

By Nico Hörndler on 12/5/2023

The lecture on implementing dedicated OpenAI solutions in Azure was amazing, and I learned a lot, but I was a bit disappointed that the course wasted hours on an introduction of AI, ChatGPT and DALL-E. Surely, anybody interested in creating their own OpenAI service solutions in Azure is already well-informed about how to use the OpenAI tools in general. So I feel a bit like half the content I paid for was just filler. I dipped into these general sessions to see if there is anything new, but to be quite frank, there are better tutorials on how to use ChatGPT or Dall-E or about Prompt Engineering on Youtube for free. Again, the Azure-specific content was great and valuable and rare to find, so definitely worth it.

By Anonymized User on 9/25/2023

I was expecting more on Fine tuning, because mostly we are going to customize the LLM to our needs, so please add bit more on the fine tuning with few more example use cases. Course is engaging and I am able to understand Azure Open AI.

By Bali on 8/20/2023

Best part is hands-on!! - And as a student it matters most in my opinion and hands-on is what you need to get started while learning new things as a human. Now, it is time to build upon what I learn from this course!! As Memi says in almost all of his courses - 'learning in technology is a journey' Best, M

By Miguel de Diego Gómez on 8/10/2023

Very good course. It's now a bit outdated, because some options are not available (creating custom models and fine tunning is currently unavailable due to capacity constraints) and many models have been retired, but this is a common thing with Azure. Any case, complete course and clear explanations.

By Anonymized User on 7/14/2023

Memi Levi is a great instructor. I follow all his courses which enrich my knowledge, especially on Microsoft Azure. Similar to his other courses, this is also an excellent course and you shouldn't miss any lessons of this course.

By Oren Mondshein on 7/8/2023

Memi Lavi's "Azure ChatGPT and OpenAI Service - The Complete Guide" course on Udemy is outstanding. Memi's teaching style is engaging and insightful, always providing valuable tips and a smart working approach. I love returning to Memi's courses for continuous learning and new discoveries. Highly recommended!
