THE LEARNING PATH
From foundations to practice.
01Discover the business problem
Map users and workflows, interview stakeholders, define success measures, and decide where AI adds value.
02Engineering foundations
Use Python, SQL, Git, JSON, HTTP APIs, environment variables, and reproducible development environments.
03LLM application fundamentals
Design prompts and structured outputs; handle context limits, errors, and retries.
04Data and retrieval
Prepare documents, chunk content, create embeddings, retrieve evidence, and return grounded answers with citations.
05Tools and agent workflows

06Business system integration
Connect a sample CRM or service API, validate inputs, manage authentication, and prevent duplicate actions.
07Evaluation and responsible delivery
Build a test set, inspect traces, test prompt injection and access boundaries, and measure quality, cost, and latency.
08Deployment and customer handover
Package an API with Docker, add monitoring and rollback guidance, document limitations, and present a working capstone.
LEARN BY BUILDING
Work worth showing.
Service workflow copilot
