Class Central Tips

ChatGPT is a language generation model developed by OpenAI, with its latest version, Davinci, powering the ChatGPT program. This course aims to teach how to build applications and solutions using ChatGPT by understanding OpenAI and ChatGPT APIs. Students will learn to create serverless functions that handle ChatGPT prompts and responses, integrating these into various platforms. The course covers connecting to the OpenAI API, creating Azure functions, and developing applications such as CoverLetterCreator, StockPhotoPPT, PolitelySayNo, and TravelPlan. By the end, learners will be able to increase productivity and build real-life applications using ChatGPT and other OpenAI models like DALL-E. They will integrate the API into platforms like Outlook, Power Apps, Power Automate, Airtable, and Bubble. The course is ideal for managers, employees, and individuals looking to improve team efficiency or monetize applications using ChatGPT. Learners will integrate ChatGPT into business tools, create no-code apps, plan itineraries, generate cover letters, and produce stock photos for presentations.

Syllabus

Introduction and Context

In this module, we will establish the groundwork for the course by exploring essential app development concepts and the roadmap for building ChatGPT applications.
