Beyond the Prompt: Developing Advanced AI Skills

College & Adult

If you already know how to get impressive results from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, this course will show you what’s next. “Beyond the Prompt” is an intermediate-level class designed to help you unlock the deeper capabilities of modern AI systems—moving from prompt tweaking to architectural thinking. You’ll learn how to build more powerful, context-aware, and scalable AI workflows using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, tool use, and logic chaining.

Through structured demos, real-world examples, and guided experimentation, you’ll explore how to extend LLMs with external knowledge, tailor them to specific domains, and connect them to tools and APIs for action. By the end of the course, you’ll understand how to design lightweight but powerful AI systems that go beyond one-off answers—and begin acting as dynamic collaborators in your work or business.
