Practical Prompt Engineering & LLM Apps

Go from lucky prompts to reliable AI features you can ship.

Taught by Asha Karki · AI Product Engineer

What you'll learn

  • Write prompts with a reliable role–task–format–constraints structure
  • Get clean, parseable JSON out of a model every time
  • Ground answers in your own documents with RAG
  • Evaluate prompt quality instead of eyeballing it
  • Estimate and control token cost in production
  • Ship a small, well-scoped AI feature end to end

About this course

Anyone can get a good answer from AI once. This course teaches you to get good answers reliably — and to wire models into small, useful applications. You'll learn a repeatable prompting method, structured outputs, retrieval over your own data, evaluation, and cost control.
