Generative AI Products

Course

This course is for product managers who are building products that contain GenAI features. It starts with teaching some underlying principles about LLMs and conversational AI, then looks at specific ways GenAI can be used in different product features, and what metrics can be used to measure the performance of GenAI features (including information retrieval accuracy and fairness/bias metrics). The course concludes with a project in which you’ll draft a proposal for a GenAI-powered product.
