Introduction to Generative AI

Welcome to the first step of your journey! Generative AI is changing how we build software. Unlike traditional programming where we write every rule, Generative AI allows apps to generate content, code, and responses dynamically.

What is Generative AI?

Generative AI refers to models that can create new content (text, images, audio) based on the data they were trained on. For developers, this means we can now build apps that "understand" and "reason."

Key Concepts:

  • LLM (Large Language Model): The engine (like GPT-4).
  • Prompt: The instruction you give the AI.
  • API: The bridge between your app and the AI model.

In this course, we will focus on using APIs to bring these capabilities into your React, Flutter, or Vue applications.
