Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Defining generative AI and distinguishing it from traditional automation
  • The impact of prompt engineering on the quality of AI outputs
  • A survey of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video generation tools
  • Identifying where prompt engineering drives business value

Foundations of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • Simplified explanations of how large language models and diffusion models function
  • Differentiating between training data, fine-tuning, and prompting
  • Understanding the strengths and limitations of pre-trained models
  • How model architecture influences prompt formulation

Comparison of Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: Strengths in Microsoft 365 integration (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams), enterprise data grounding; weaknesses in creative breadth and complex reasoning compared to competitors
  • Google Gemini: Strengths in native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding; weaknesses in consistency, regional availability, and handling complex instructions
  • ChatGPT: Strengths in ecosystem maturity, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode; weaknesses in factual reliability without grounding and stricter premium usage limits
  • Claude: Strengths in long-context processing, nuanced reasoning, long-form writing, and analytical clarity; weaknesses in tool ecosystem breadth and image generation capabilities
  • Selecting the optimal tool based on specific tasks, target audiences, or compliance requirements
  • A comparative walkthrough of the same prompt across all four assistants

Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • Clarity, specificity, and context as the core elements of successful prompts
  • Organizing instructions, tone, format, and constraints
  • Identifying and avoiding common beginner errors
  • Refining weak prompts into high-performing ones through iteration

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

  • Distinguishing between these three approaches and their appropriate use cases
  • Interpreting model behavior and adjusting examples accordingly
  • Guiding a model through new tasks using a small number of well-selected samples
  • Practical exercises utilizing ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude

Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques

  • Utilizing conditional and context-aware prompts for 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 responses

Few-Shot Fine-Tuning Without Code

  • Defining few-shot fine-tuning and contrasting it with full model training
  • Adapting models to niche tasks through example-driven prompting
  • Determining when prompt engineering is sufficient versus when fine-tuning is a better investment
  • Assessing output quality and refining through iterative processes

Hyper-Realistic Text Generation

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