By Michael Grialou on 8/27/2026

It leans a bit more on the engineering side for me, but I am learning. I like the pace, but sometimes there are too many concepts to keep track of.

Excellent introduction to Generative AI! The course covers all the essential concepts from how LLMs work to real-world business use cases without overwhelming the learner.

By Sylvain Rhéal Michaud on 4/21/2026

It was not what I expected. It did not fulfill my needs. Too many examples of code instead of the principles. Not interested in learning to program LLM so the exercises were superfluous.

By Himanshu Singh on 4/4/2026

I have learned so much and basics about generative AI and its evolution. How it will come in future, and we need to be prepared in the areas and learn how to use it. I need to learn more and start using tools. during the test i git some answers wrong but i will look into them thoroughly so that i can focus more on them.

By Anonymized User on 2/7/2026

This course is a strong beginner-friendly entry into Generative AI, covering LLMs, ChatGPT, prompts, fine-tuning, RAG, RLHF, and certifications.
