Why This Course Stands Out:

You already know how vital AI is to your career—it's in every conversation, project, and strategy session. But diving into AI feels daunting with limited time for self-study or complex programming.

That’s where this course comes in. Skip the endless prep work and gain an intuitive, hands-on understanding of AI and transformers in just a few hours—without needing an advanced degree.

No other course offers such an interactive, fast, and in-depth technical understanding of AI using an actual GPT-2 model, all using an easy-to-learn spreadsheet interface.

Perfect for Busy STEM Professionals:

Whether you're a developer, technical manager, or executive, this course demystifies AI and teaches you exactly how Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-2 work, with no prerequisites beyond a STEM background.

It’s ideal for:

• Software/Web Developers seeking an easy introduction to machine learning.

• Science & Tech Professionals navigating AI transformations in their fields.

• Technical Sales/Marketing crafting messaging for AI products.

• Product/Project Managers overseeing LLM-powered solutions.

• Executives/Leaders guiding AI strategy in their organizations.

What You’ll Learn:

Using a unique spreadsheet implementation of GPT-2 (the predecessor to ChatGPT), we’ll break down each model component with crystal-clear explanations. In just a few sessions, you’ll be able to:

• Understand how LLMs work—as quickly as possible.

• Explain every key component—tokenization, embeddings, attention, and more.

• Gain AI literacy—so you can confidently lead and manage AI-driven teams.

• Build a foundation for further AI projects—and even more advanced learning.

Why Spreadsheets?

You don’t need to be a coder or a calculus expert to understand AI—just the right approach. This course uses an innovative, no-code, spreadsheet-based method to teach LLMs. It's fast, interactive, and designed for busy professionals like you.

By breaking down complex AI principles into easy-to-follow spreadsheet exercises, you’ll gain a lasting, foundational understanding of how large language models work. This is knowledge you can carry across into any model, any programming language, and any project.

Hands-On Learning, No Programming Required:

By the end of the course, you’ll have a working, detailed understanding of how transformers power LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama. Plus, you'll have a spreadsheet tool you can explore and tweak to deepen your understanding further.
