Course Description

Discover How to Access AI Models from the OpenAI API

Over recent years, OpenAI has emerged as a market leader in creating AI models, such as GPT-4, and releasing them to the wider community through applications like ChatGPT. These models can transform not only the way you work but also the products and services that businesses provide to customers.

To begin extracting business value from OpenAI's models, you'll need to learn to work with their Application Programming Interface, or API. Throughout the course, you'll learn to use Python code to send requests to use OpenAI's models.

Solve Real-World Problems Using AI Models

The AI models accessible through the OpenAI API have a wide range of potential applications. In this course, you'll use AI to generate and transform text content, perform sentiment analysis and categorization, create audio transcriptions, build your very own chatbot, and even start automating complex tasks like creating summarized meeting notes from meeting recordings.

Begin Developing AI Applications

As AI becomes more accessible to individuals and organizations, the bar for developing AI-driven product features and automations continues to fall. Right now, every organization has the capability to begin using AI to streamline business processes and develop more personalized customer experiences. The OpenAI API provides easy access for software engineers and developers to start integrating AI into new applications and systems.
