Before we made this course we had both been experimenting with Prompt Engineering since the GPT-3 beta in 2020, and DALL-E beta in 2022, way before ChatGPT exploded on the scene. We slowly replaced every part of our work with AI, and now we work full time in Prompt Engineering. This course is your guide to doing the same and accelerating your career with AI.

*Since launching this course, Mike and James have been commissioned to write a book for O'Reilly titled "Prompt Engineering for Generative AI" which has sold over 10,000 copies!*

If you buy this course you get a PDF of the first chapter free! The book is complementary to the course, but with all new material based on the same principles that work.

Whether you're an aspiring AI Engineer, a developer learning Prompt Engineering, or just a seasoned professional looking to understand what's possible, this comprehensive bootcamp has got you covered. You'll learn practical techniques to harness the power of AI for various professional applications, from generating text and images to enhancing software development and boosting your creative projects.

! Warning !: The majority of our lessons require reading and modifying code in Python (for each lesson marked with "- Coding" in the title). Please don't buy this course if you can't code and aren't seriously dedicated to learning technical skills. We've heard from non-technical people they still got value from seeing what's possible, but please don't complain in the reviews ;-)

The number of papers published on AI every month is growing exponentially, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up. ChatGPT is the fastest growing consumer product in history, hitting 1 million users in less than a week and 100m in a few months.
