Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Understanding generative AI and how it distinguishes itself from conventional automation
  • The critical role of prompt engineering in determining the quality of AI outputs
  • A survey of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video generation tools
  • How prompt engineering drives tangible business value

Foundations of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • A plain-language explanation of how large language models and diffusion models operate
  • Distinguishing between training data, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering
  • Understanding the capabilities and limitations of pre-trained models
  • How model architecture influences prompt structure and effectiveness

Comparing the Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: leveraging strengths in Microsoft 365 integration (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams) and enterprise data grounding, while noting limitations in creative breadth and deep reasoning compared to competitors
  • Google Gemini: capitalizing on native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding, while addressing challenges related to consistency, regional availability, and complex instruction adherence
  • ChatGPT: utilizing a mature ecosystem, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode, while managing constraints regarding factual accuracy without grounding and premium usage limits
  • Claude: benefiting from superior long-context processing, nuanced reasoning, and high-quality long-form writing, while acknowledging gaps in tool ecosystem diversity and image generation
  • Strategies for selecting the optimal tool based on specific tasks, target audiences, or compliance requirements
  • A comparative walkthrough demonstrating the same prompt across all four major assistants

Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • The three pillars of high-quality prompting: clarity, specificity, and contextual relevance
  • Structuring instructions, defining tone, format, and constraints
  • Identifying and avoiding common pitfalls faced by beginners
  • The process of iterating from a basic prompt to a highly effective one

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

  • Distinguishing between these three methodologies and determining their appropriate applications
  • Interpreting model behavior to refine examples
