Description

This is a beginner-level Generative AI course for IT professionals who have basic knowledge of Python and want to learn how to build an offline chatbot using tools like LLaMA3, LangChain, and Ollama. If you’ve already taken AI or Gen AI courses, I recommend choosing a more advanced course, as this one covers only the fundamentals.

The course serves as an ideal starting point for those new to Generative AI, offering a clear, easy-to-follow guide with hands-on experience through every step of the local LLM chatbot development process.

You will learn the basics of Generative AI in five simple steps. The course begins with installing essential tools like LLaMA3, LangChain, and Ollama. You’ll then run a prebuilt offline chatbot and interact with it securely without internet access. Next, you’ll set up Python and Visual Studio Code to explore how the LLM can help generate basic code. You’ll also learn to write clear requirements to define your chatbot’s functionality. Finally, you’ll use step-by-step instructions and prewritten code to build and run your own offline chatbot.

At the end of the course, you will work on a small hands-on project to apply what you’ve learned and reinforce your understanding.

Please note: If you’ve already taken a Generative AI course or have prior experience with AI tools and concepts, this course may be too basic for you. I recommend exploring a more advanced course to continue your learning.
