Our take

Based on the ratings of 42,753 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a business-side introduction to generative AI from Yash Thakker, built for managers and executives who need to talk about AI without writing any. It runs about 12 hours across 85 lectures and has pulled in roughly 76,900 students. The syllabus covers machine learning and deep learning basics, prompt engineering, ethics, implementation challenges and a set of hands-on sessions. Newer sections cover Claude for work, Langflow, RAG and AI agents, and the course was last updated in August 2026. It asks for no prior experience, and one reviewer says their workplace required it.

Most of the 4.5 average from over 42,000 ratings comes from people who found it informative and broad. Reviewers call it an eye opener and a good summary of modern generative AI, and one liked the question, pause, answer format. The complaints are consistent, though. Several say parts are outdated or repeat themselves, with the RAG masterclass retreading earlier material. Others find it too fast, too dense, or too detailed for a leadership course, especially the long image and video generation sections. A few mention uneven audio, missing subtitles in some languages, and one student could not move forward because they could not find an option on screen.

Treat it as a wide survey rather than a strategy playbook. One reviewer put it as more about what AI can do than how to apply it. It suits a first pass when a team needs shared vocabulary. Expect to skip around, since the repeated material and older theory are easy to pass over.

Best forManagers and executives who want a broad, jargon-light picture of generative AI, or whose employer assigned it.
Skip it ifYou already use ChatGPT or Claude daily and want a tight, current playbook instead of a long survey.

Pros

  • Updated August 2026 with Claude for work, RAG, Langflow and AI agents sections
  • Covers ML, deep learning, prompting, ethics and rollout in one place, no coding needed
  • Reviewers call it an eye opener with a clear summary of modern generative AI
  • Short lectures across about 12 hours, easy to take in pieces

Cons

  • Reviewers flag outdated and repeated material, including a RAG masterclass that retreads earlier ground
  • Some say it is fast and dense, with long image and video generation detail off topic for leaders
  • Audio quality varies, and some videos lack subtitles in certain languages
some of it is a little outdated but the majority is really informative
Isabelle Dabbs, a student

Truly beginner friendly: no prior experience needed, though a few find the pace fast and the detail heavy.

By Floris Quant on 8/14/2026

Until now, very old AI is covered which are not even the previous standard anymore, so many of the opinions are outdated and not relevant any more.

By Hiroaki Katasakai on 7/29/2026

Sophisticated explanation and an excellent summary of modern generative AI technologies.

By Sravani Kota on 7/7/2026

The course was quite useful. It was more about what you can do than how to apply it.

By Manu Thomas on 6/26/2026

Yes, nice presentation. 'Question - pause - answer' format caught attention and grew curiosity at certain points. Interesting topic as well.

By Cesar Moreno Garcia on 6/15/2026

I personally believe that content for Project Managers would enrich this wonderful course. Thanks!

By Douglas Jurcovichi on 5/26/2026

A parte técnica do curso foi ótima e trouxe um geral das principais IAs que existem, mas creio que poderia ter algo mais executivo para líderes.

By Venkata Vuppala on 4/17/2026

It was a good course and met the expectations to some extent. However, would be good if the course covered more aspects which a typical IT project manager should know to manage an AI enabled projects. Also, it would have been good if the course talks about how cloud is providing certain services to support AI.

By Hannah Silva on 4/8/2026

There was a lot of great information; however, I don't see how it was tailored to the needs of business leaders and professionals. It was more about what you can do than how to apply it.
