Introduction to AI & LLMs

Get a clear, practical understanding of Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models.

Technical Literacy: Learn how modern AI systems actually work at a high level, moving past the hype to understand what LLMs can and cannot do.
Effective Interaction: Master prompt and context engineering to eliminate low-quality responses and move from frustrating exchanges to predictable results.
Pragmatic Integration: Identify where AI adds genuine value versus where it introduces risk, hallucinations, or unnecessary complexity.

Overview

Learn what modern AI systems are, how they work at a high level, and how they can be used effectively in real-world software development. This workshop provides a math-free foundation in generative AI, teaching you to leverage tools like RAGs and context engineering while managing the non-deterministic nature of model behavior.

Challenges This Training Addresses

Unclear understanding of what LLMs can and cannot do
Overestimating or underestimating AI capabilities
Confusion about how tools like ChatGPT actually work
Difficulty identifying real vs hype-driven AI use cases
Frustrating experience exchanging with a GPT
Low quality responses

Who Should Attend

Software developers curious about AI and LLMs
Tech leads evaluating AI integration in products
Product managers working on AI-powered features
Engineers who want to understand AI without heavy math or research focus
Teams starting to explore generative AI use cases
