Building Practical GenAI Solutions for Business: Build an AI Business Copilot
Beginner friendly
Interactive live sessions
Recordings available
Generative AI is transforming how businesses interact with documents, data, and organizational knowledge. In this hands-on workshop, you'll build a practical AI business copilot that answers questions using both business documents and structured data. Along the way, you'll learn key GenAI concepts, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, embeddings, prompt engineering, grounded responses, and intelligent workflow routing. Using Python and real-world business scenarios, you'll create a working copilot prototype while exploring techniques to improve reliability, reduce hallucinations, and deliver accurate, business-friendly responses. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a reusable foundation for building AI-powered knowledge assistants, analytics copilots, and workflow automation solutions for enterprise use cases.

What I valued most was the focus on real-world system design and architecture. Our instructor went above and beyond, reinforcing fundamentals until they stuck and making complex concepts like LangChain approachable. The bootcamp gave me the structured, hands-on learning I needed to master skills that truly matter in the industry.

This was an amazing experience! The doubt-clearing sessions were especially helpful, allowing me to learn from my own questions and others'. I loved how each homework task pushed me to apply concepts in new ways, which really made the knowledge stick. I came out of the bootcamp confident and excited to keep building projects — it’s easily a 9.5/10!
