What you'll learn

Get started writing code that uses an LLM under the hood

You'll dive right into to writing code that sends prompts to an LLM and processes the model's responses.

You'll create a tiny but working app that allows a user to talk with a powerful AI chatbot that talks like a human.

Manage conversation history

You'll build the ability for the chatbot to remember its entire conversation and continue the dialogue seamlessly.
