The lesson plan
3 months · liveYour First API Call
Calling a model API, reading responses, and handling errors like a pro.
Prompting from Code
Templating, parameters, and structured output for real applications.
Working with Embeddings
Turning text into vectors and why that unlocks search and similarity.
Building a Simple RAG App
Grounding model responses in your own documents end to end.
Function & Tool Calling
Letting models trigger real code paths safely.
Streaming & UX Patterns
Building responsive AI features users actually enjoy.
Testing AI Features
Writing evals so you know when a prompt change breaks something.
Cost & Performance
Token budgets, caching, and keeping AI features fast and affordable.
Guardrails & Safety
Input validation, output filtering, and handling bad responses gracefully.
Agents in Production
Multi-step agent patterns that are debuggable and reliable.
Observability & Logging
Knowing what your AI feature is doing in the real world.
Code Review Workshop
Reviewing each other's AI feature code with a senior-engineer eye.
Open Lab: Build Time
Hands-on build time with direct feedback from Saiful.
Capstone: Ship an AI Feature
Build, test, and present a production-ready AI feature end to end.
Your instructor
Saiful has spent the last decade turning complex technology into something people can actually use — and the last three years teaching AI to over 1,200 students across live cohorts.
