Ever wonder why you can’t get the most out of an AI chatbot, and your friend can seem to always find the best use for it? That’s because you’re probably not using the right AI prompts, a.k.a. you don’t know how to talk to AI. Well, Google knows this better than anyone, so it’s now offering a course to share its knowledge and teach people how to prompt its AI.
Called the “Google Prompting Essentials course,” the program is designed to help learners “discover how to effectively prompt (AI) in five easy steps and make AI work for them — no experience required.”
The course includes four modules and 12 assignments and takes less than 10 hours to complete. It’s available on Coursera, but no, it’s not free. You’ll have to dish out $49 for the full course.
Once you enroll, Google says you’ll learn the following skills to get the most out of a generative AI model:
- Quickly adapt emails for different audiences
- Summarize lengthy documents into key takeaways
- Brainstorm fresh ideas for a project
- Build engaging presentations and get feedback on your delivery
- Analyze data and make compelling visualizations
- Use AI responsibly by recognizing biases and errors
The course will also allow learners to build a library of reusable prompts. Upon completion, learners will receive a certificate from Google that can be helpful for adding to one’s resume and professional profiles.
