Overview

Take your first step into the world of AI application development by diving deep into a fundamental technology: the OpenAI API. You'll learn everything there is about chat completions, image generation, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text. Plus you'll put your new knowledge into practice by building an AI application for healthy daily meal plans.

What you'll learn

  • The exciting world of AI application development
  • Make Chat Completions API calls using OpenAI’s GPT models
  • Integrate text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-to-text (Whisper) into your applications
  • Use text-to-image API calls to DALL-E to generate original images

Why is this Byte awesome?

Unlock the full potential of AI in your applications with our comprehensive (but still bite-sized!) course on the OpenAI API!

From mastering Chat Completions with OpenAI's cutting-edge GPT models, to generating captivating images with DALL-E, to turning text-into-speech and speech-into-text, this course has it all!

And there's more...

We believe you need to put your new knowledge into practice in order to really understand it enough to utilize it in the real world.

That's why you'll also build a real-world AI application using the OpenAI API: an AI-powered healthy daily meal planner.

Beginning with the ChatCompletions API you'll conjure up original recipes from the mind of a virtual chef and tailored to your dietary needs and preferences.

Then you'll witness your culinary creations come to life with original images generated by DALL-E for each meal.

And for the finishing touch, you'll have the text-to-speech API narrate the recipes, guiding you through each step as you cook.

Transform your ideas into reality with the power of AI, making every interaction more engaging and every application more intelligent (and every meal a masterpiece!).
