AI Terms Crash Course

About this course

AI Terms Crash Course is a focused 1 hour guide to the language of modern artificial intelligence. If you hear people talk about LLMs, RAG, MCP, context windows, agents, APIs, tool calling, fine tuning, prompt engineering, AI IDEs, and open weight models, this course will help you understand what those terms mean and why they matter.The course is designed for developers, managers, founders, and technical teams who want to follow AI conversations without getting lost in jargon. Each lesson explains one important concept in short, clear language, using practical examples from software products, AI tools, and real development workflows.It is especially useful if you work with software teams, manage technical projects, compare AI products, or want to understand what developers mean when they discuss model behavior, context, retrieval, tools, agents, and security risks. The goal is clarity, not hype: a compact foundation that helps you ask better questions and make more confident decisions.This is not a long coding bootcamp and it does not promise instant AI mastery. It is a practical vocabulary and concept map for people who need to evaluate AI tools, discuss AI projects, understand vendor claims, or brief a technical team. By the end, you will have a clearer mental model of the AI ecosystem and the terms used in current AI product and engineering discussions.
