Modules
Module 1
Go beyond chain-of-thought with tree-based reasoning, self-consistency, ReAct agents, and program-aided prompting.
Tree of Thoughts & Self-Consistency
Explore branching reasoning paths and majority-vote strategies to dramatically improve accuracy on hard problems.
ReAct & Reflexion
Learn how interleaving reasoning with actions and self-reflection loops push model capabilities further.
Program-Aided Language Models
Combine natural language reasoning with executable code to solve math, data, and logic problems accurately.
Module 2
Build systems that combine retrieval with generation for accurate, up-to-date, and grounded AI responses.
Embeddings & Vector Stores
Understand how text becomes searchable vectors and how vector databases power semantic search.
Chunking Strategies
Learn how to split documents into chunks that maximize retrieval quality and minimize noise.
Building RAG Pipelines
Assemble end-to-end RAG systems with query routing, re-ranking, and answer synthesis.
Module 3
Build AI agents that can reason, use tools, and execute multi-step workflows autonomously.
Agent Prompting Fundamentals
Understand the architecture and prompting patterns behind effective AI agents.
Function Calling & MCP
Master structured function calling and the Model Context Protocol for reliable tool use.
Multi-Step Agent Workflows
Design and prompt complex agent workflows with planning, delegation, and error recovery.
Module 4
Protect your AI systems from injection attacks, data exfiltration, and adversarial manipulation.
Injection Attacks Explained
Understand how prompt injection works and why it is the #1 security risk in LLM applications.
Defensive Prompting
Build layered defenses into your prompts to resist injection and maintain intended behavior.
Red-Teaming Your Prompts
Systematically test your prompts against adversarial attacks to find and fix vulnerabilities.
Module 5
Build systematic evaluation pipelines to measure, compare, and improve prompt performance over time.
Building Eval Suites
Create test suites that measure prompt quality across diverse inputs and edge cases.
Scoring Rubrics & Metrics
Design rubrics and select metrics that reliably measure what matters for your use case.
Regression Testing & Versioning
Track prompt versions, detect regressions, and maintain quality as prompts evolve.
Module 6
Use AI to automatically discover, optimize, and compress prompts for better performance.
