Course details
The emergence of AI has been the center of attraction on the web since the release of the first GPT language models by OpenAI in November 2022. As a result, there’s been a growing interest within the tech community to explore the potential of generative AI technologies in web development.
In this course, join instructor Sandy Ludosky as she provides an introduction to generative AI and its many possible applications using the JavaScript language and its frameworks. Explore the core concepts of generative AI with practical, hands-on examples. Sandy shows you how to build an AI-powered chatbot with Node.js and then extend the chatbot’s capabilities by allowing it to call external APIs with function calling. By the end of this course, you’ll also be ready to build an AI-powered virtual assistant with the OpenAI Assistants API.
