Building Systems with the ChatGPT API
2 hours 4.8(74,000 reviews)Free
DeepLearning.AI's Building Systems with the ChatGPT API teaches you to build multi-step AI pipelines: classification chains, evaluation systems, and customer service bots using the OpenAI API. The course is free on deeplearning.ai and takes about 2 hours. After finishing, you can chain prompts together to build real applications that go beyond a single API call. It assumes you already know basic prompt engineering. The main limitation: it uses the OpenAI API specifically; you'll need to adapt the patterns for other models like Claude or Gemini.
DeepLearning.AI's courses have been taken by over 6 million learners across its platform and Coursera (source: deeplearning.ai/about/).

Yes, free on deeplearning.ai. No subscription required.
Should I take prompt engineering first?
Yes. Take DeepLearning.AI's Prompt Engineering for Developers first; this builds on that foundation.
What applications can I build?
Customer service bots, content moderation pipelines, structured data extractors, and multi-step reasoning systems.
Does it teach error handling and evaluation?
Yes. Evaluating LLM outputs and handling failures is one of the course's main topics.
How long does this take?
About 2 hours of interactive lessons.

Hugging Face LLM Course
Learn to build and deploy with transformers and large language models in this 12-chapter course from Hugging Face. You'll start with NLP fundamentals, then move into modern LLM techniques: tokenization, fine-tuning, reasoning models, and building shareable demos. By the end, you'll know how to use pre-trained models, customize them on your own data, and integrate them into real applications. Best if you have some Python experience; the course assumes basic familiarity with machine learning. Fair warning: LLM chapters move fast, so budget time for rereading.
