Course Overview
AI APIs have made it possible to rapidly build intelligent applications without training models from scratch. This practitioner-level course focuses on integrating leading AI services into real-world applications using structured, scalable approaches.
Participants will learn how to work with APIs from major providers, implement streaming responses, use function calling for tool interaction, and apply embeddings for semantic search and retrieval. The course emphasises practical development and production readiness.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners will build multiple AI-powered applications, including RAG-based systems, and deploy them using modern workflows. By the end, participants will be able to design and implement robust AI integrations for real business use cases.
