Some useful real life example would have been better than word count and char length :)
By Subhadeep Banerjee on 6/16/2026
This instructor has created exactly the kind of content most undergraduate students are looking for. The explanations are clear, practical, and easy to understand. The course is well-structured, and the lecture duration is just right—not too long and not too short. I especially appreciate the hands-on approach and real-world examples, which make complex concepts much easier to grasp. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn LangChain, Ollama, and modern AI development. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
By Raghu N on 3/28/2026
This Udemy course delivered a structured learning path with clear, up-to-date resources and practical code examples. It met expectations by covering the essential LangChain and Ollama concepts in a well-organized way, making it easy to follow and apply. Thank you.
By James C on 3/8/2026
This was a comprehensive and enjoyable course with some great projects at the end that helped reinforce the main concepts. One thing that could be improved is explaining why certain approaches are used, not just how to implement them. At times the reasoning behind decisions wasn’t clear initially. However, by the end of the course everything came together and I was able to understand the overall design and logic. Overall, it’s a valuable course and I’m glad I completed it.
By Thabo Radebe on 1/8/2026
I really like this course. It explains AI step by step in a simple and clear way. This should be the first course anyone takes to truly understand AI. The concepts are well structured and easy to follow, even for beginners. Highly recommended.
By KEITA Mohamed on 11/25/2025
I have seen other courses that are supposed to be up to date but they still use old (and deprecated code) and add some new videos, this has its merits too if you are forced to work with old code but if you don't want to be forced to learn deprecated code and want instead something that is up to date and working then this is the best in my opinion. Everything works and you don't have to search for a documentation that no longer exist or is hard to find to understand the deprecated code while trying to understand the new one.
By Samuel Njiraini on 10/15/2025
The course is simple enough to understand, yet complex enough for real life application. This is my second course by Laxmi and I have a feeling I will end up doing all his courses for they are so intuitive, especially if you already have use-cases in mind, but don't know how to execute
By rama chandra on 8/22/2025
Great course with clear explanations and practical projects on LangChain v0.3, Ollama, and LLM integration. The hands-on approach to building chatbots and real-world examples made learning effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone exploring AI development!
By ELID Sales and Marketing on 3/14/2025
- Excellent "introductory" course that teaches the fundamentals of LLM usage with sufficient detail and clarity - Good explanations of the basics of RAG & Agents - essential in today's AI landscape - Touches on various essential concepts related to LLMS such as prompting, chatbots, document loaders & tools - Lakshmi keeps each lesson size appropriate, focusing on explaining each component properly without overwhelming the student. Helps to better absorb the content and connect everything to understand the overall section. - Highly recommend this course!
By Ann ** on 1/31/2025
Great course! I value the references back to the documentation and in depth instructions with every step. Laxmi takes the extra effort to show how to debug issues, discuss how each code works, and partitioning the lessons so they don't over load a person.
