Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Understanding generative AI and how it distinguishes itself from traditional automation
  • The impact of prompt engineering on the quality of AI outputs
  • An overview of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video tools
  • Identifying where prompt engineering delivers specific business value

Foundations of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • A plain-language explanation of how large language models and diffusion models function
  • Distinguishing between training data, fine-tuning, and prompting
  • Recognizing the strengths and limitations of pre-trained models
  • Understanding how model architecture influences prompt writing strategies

Comparing the Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: highlighting its strengths in Microsoft 365 integration, workflows in Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, and enterprise data grounding, while noting weaknesses in creative range and reasoning depth compared to competitors
  • Google Gemini: showcasing its advantages in native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding, alongside weaknesses in consistency, regional availability, and complex instruction-following
  • ChatGPT: emphasizing its mature ecosystem, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode, while acknowledging weaknesses in factual reliability without grounding and stricter limits on premium features
  • Claude: focusing on its strengths in long-context handling, nuanced reasoning, long-form writing, and clear analysis, with limitations in tool ecosystem breadth and image generation capabilities
  • Selecting the optimal tool based on specific tasks, target audiences, or compliance constraints
  • A side-by-side demonstration of identical prompts across all four assistants

Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • Establishing clarity, specificity, and context as the core pillars of effective prompting
  • Structuring instructions, tone, format, and constraints logically
  • Identifying and recognizing common errors made by beginners
  • The process of iterating from basic prompts to high-performing ones

Zero-Shot, One-Shot, and Few-Shot Prompting

  • Distinguishing between these three approaches and determining when each is most appropriate
  • Interpreting model behavior to adjust examples effectively
  • Teaching a model new tasks using a small number of well-selected samples
  • Practical exercises across ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude

Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques

  • Using conditional and context-aware prompts to achieve nuanced results
  • Applying style transfer, persona prompting, and creative direction
  • Implementing chain-of-thought and step-by-step reasoning prompts
  • Mitigating hallucinations, ambiguity, and bias in AI responses

Few-Shot Fine-Tuning Without Code

  • Defining few-shot fine-tuning and differentiating it from full model training
  • Adapting models to niche tasks through example-driven prompts
  • Evaluating when prompt engineering is sufficient versus when fine-tuning offers better value
  • Assessing output quality and refining iteratively

Hyper-Realistic Text Generation

  • Generating text with precise control over tone, voice, and length
