ChatGPT for Real-World Applications: From Prompts to Product

About this course

“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence”ChatGPT has moved far beyond simple chatbots and demos, but most people are still using it in ways that do not translate to real business or production environments. This course is designed to close that gap. ChatGPT for Real-World Applications: From Prompts to Production teaches you how to use ChatGPT the way it is actually applied in modern organizations — as part of reliable systems, data pipelines, and production-ready workflows.You will start by building a clear understanding of what Large Language Models (LLMs) really are, what ChatGPT can and cannot do, and why prompting alone is not enough for real-world use. From there, the course progressively moves into prompt engineering fundamentals, advanced reliability techniques, and structured prompt workflows that reduce hallucinations and inconsistent outputs.As you advance, you will learn how ChatGPT is integrated into business analytics, engineering automation, and internal tooling, including how to design prompts that support decision-making, reporting, and code assistance without introducing risk. A major focus of the course is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), where you will learn how to safely connect ChatGPT to your own data, databases, and documents so outputs are grounded, traceable, and auditable.The course then shifts into system design and architecture, teaching you how to place ChatGPT within real applications using APIs, tool-calling, and multi-step workflows. You will learn how to handle latency, cost control, scaling, and failure-tolerant design</
