Why Build an AI Career Coach?

This project-based course is perfect for beginners who have been wondering "what's something useful I could use AI like ChatGPT for?

It provides a fun, hands-on introduction to using Generative AI, Large Language Models, and Prompt Engineering to effectively "program in natural language". That is, to use nothing more than the English language to create an AI Career Coach.

What Features Will My AI Career Coach Have?

First, this AI Career Coach will be able to teach you any subject that you choose. It will take into consideration your career goals and motivate you to achieve them.

Second, it will have "Slash Commands" that will allow it to enter different modes, including:

  • /learn = learn using the Feynman Technique
  • /quiz = generate quizzes
  • /challenge = LeetCode-style coding challenges and assessments

Third, the AI Career Coach will automatically generate summaries that you can use to create a study outline for future reference.

Fourth, it will gamify the learning experience with XP points and levels.

And all of that will be accomplished by creating a single, comprehensive prompt that takes into account the abilities and nuances of Large Language Models.

Wait... What's a Project?

One of the most common things we hear from students is: "I want to build more projects!"
