Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Understanding generative AI and how it contrasts with traditional automation
  • The impact of prompt engineering on the quality of AI-generated output
  • An overview of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video tools
  • Identifying where prompt engineering creates tangible business value

Foundations of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • Explaining the mechanics of large language models and diffusion models in simple terms
  • Distinguishing between training data, fine-tuning, and prompting
  • Understanding the capabilities and limitations of pre-trained models
  • Why model architecture influences prompt design strategies

Comparing Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: strong integration with Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams) and enterprise data grounding, though limited in creative range and deep reasoning compared to competitors
  • Google Gemini: excels in native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding, but may struggle with consistency, regional availability, and complex instruction-following
  • ChatGPT: boasts a mature ecosystem, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode, yet faces challenges with factual reliability without grounding and stricter limits on premium features
  • Claude: known for long-context handling, nuanced reasoning, and long-form writing, with weaknesses in the breadth of its tool ecosystem and image generation capabilities
  • Selecting the optimal tool based on specific tasks, target audiences, or compliance requirements
  • A comparative demonstration of the same prompt across all four assistants

Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • Mastering clarity, specificity, and context as the core elements of a successful prompt
  • Structuring instructions, tone, format, and constraints effectively
  • Identifying and correcting common beginner errors
  • Iteratively improving a weak prompt to achieve high performance

Zero-Shot, One-Shot, and Few-Shot Prompting

  • Understanding the differences between these approaches and when to apply each
  • Interpreting model behavior and adjusting examples accordingly
  • Training a model on new tasks using a small set of well-chosen samples
  • Hands-on exercises using ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude

Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques

  • Crafting conditional and context-aware prompts for nuanced results
  • Applying style transfer, persona prompting, and creative direction
  • Implementing chain-of-thought and step-by-step reasoning prompts
  • Mitigating hallucinations, ambiguity, and bias in AI responses

Few-Shot Fine-Tuning Without Code

  • Defining few-shot fine-tuning and distinguishing it from full model training
  • Adapting models to niche tasks using example-driven prompts
  • Determining when to use prompt engineering versus when fine-tuning offers better ROI
  • Evaluating output quality and refining through iteration

Hyper-Realistic Text Generation

  • Generating text with precise control over tone, voice, and length
  • Creating long-form content, summaries, reports, and structured documents
  • Maintaining coherence in multi-step generation processes
  • Combining prompt patterns for consistent, brand-aligned outcomes

Applying Prompt Engineering to Business Workflows

  • Automating routine drafting, research, and information triage
  • Exploring customer support and chatbot applications
  • Designing reusable prompt templates for teams without the need for retraining
  • Implementing quality control, escalation logic, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints

Image Generation and Manipulation

  • Comparing DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, and Leonardo AI
  • Writing prompts to control style, composition, lighting, and subject matter
  • Utilizing negative prompts, weighting, and iterative refinement
  • Performing image-to-image transformations and edits via prompts

Audio and Speech with AI

  • Generating natural-sounding speech from text inputs
  • Understanding voice cloning and synthesis at a conceptual level
  • Applications in training materials, accessibility, and marketing

Video Content Creation with Generative AI

  • Surveying current text-to-video tools and their realistic capabilities
  • Creating scripts and storyboards using prompt sequences
  • Synthesizing AI-generated text, images, audio, and video into cohesive assets
  • Editing and refining AI-produced video content

Multimodal AI and Integrated Workflows

  • Understanding how multimodal models unify reasoning across text, image, audio, and video
  • Building end-to-end content pipelines without coding
  • Real-world case studies from marketing, design, training, and advertising

Ethics, Responsible Use, and Future Trends

  • Navigating bias, copyright, attribution, and content moderation
  • Considering privacy and data protection when using generative platforms
  • Maintaining disclosure, transparency, and trust with end-users
  • Monitoring emerging tools, models, and trends for the next 12 months

Requirements

Target Audience
