Course Outline

Introduction to Generative AI and Prompt Engineering

  • Understanding generative AI and its distinction from traditional automation
  • The impact of prompt engineering on the quality of AI outputs
  • An overview of the current landscape of text, image, audio, and video tools
  • Identifying the business value added by prompt engineering

Foundations of AI Models for Text and Image Generation

  • A plain-language explanation of how large language models and diffusion models function
  • Distinguishing between training data, fine-tuning, and prompting
  • The strengths and limitations of pre-trained models
  • How model architecture influences prompt design

Comparing the Leading AI Assistants

  • Microsoft Copilot: Strengths in Microsoft 365 integration (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams) and enterprise data grounding, versus weaknesses in creative range and reasoning depth compared to competitors
  • Google Gemini: Strengths in native multimodality, Workspace integration, and real-time search grounding, versus weaknesses in consistency, regional availability, and complex instruction-following
  • ChatGPT: Strengths in ecosystem maturity, custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, and voice mode, versus weaknesses in factual reliability without grounding and strict premium feature limits
  • Claude: Strengths in long-context handling, nuanced reasoning, long-form writing, and clear analysis, versus weaknesses in tool ecosystem breadth and image generation
  • Selecting the appropriate tool based on task, audience, or compliance requirements
  • A comparative walkthrough of the same prompt across all four assistants

Principles of Effective Prompt Design

  • Clarity, specificity, and context: the three pillars of effective prompting
  • Structuring instructions, tone, format, and constraints
  • Identifying common beginner mistakes
  • Iterating from basic prompts to high-performing ones

Zero-Shot, One-Shot, and Few-Shot Prompting

  • Differences between these approaches and their appropriate use cases
  • Interpreting model behavior and adjusting examples accordingly
  • Training a model on new tasks using a small number of well-selected samples
  • Practical exercises across ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude

Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques

  • Conditional and context-aware prompts for nuanced results
  • Style transfer, persona prompting, and creative direction
  • Chain-of-thought and step-by-step reasoning prompts
  • Mitigating hallucinations, ambiguity, and bias in AI responses

Few-Shot Fine-Tuning Without Code

  • Defining few-shot fine-tuning and distinguishing it from full model training
  • Adapting models to niche tasks using example-driven prompts
  • Determining when prompt engineering is sufficient versus when fine-tuning is a better investment
  • Evaluating output quality and refining iteratively

Hyper-Realistic Text Generation

  • Generating text with controlled tone, voice, and length
  • Producing long-form content, summaries, reports, and structured documents
  • Maintaining coherence in multi-step generation processes
  • Combining prompt patterns for consistent, brand-aligned results

Applying Prompt Engineering to Business Workflows

  • Automating routine drafting, research, and information triage
  • An introduction to customer support and chatbot applications
  • Creating reusable prompt templates for teams without requiring retraining
  • Implementing quality control, escalation logic, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints

Image Generation and Manipulation

  • Comparing DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, and Leonardo AI
  • Writing prompts to control style, composition, lighting, and subject matter
  • Utilizing negative prompts, weighting, and iterative refinement
  • Performing image-to-image transformation and editing via prompts

Audio and Speech with AI

  • Generating natural-sounding speech from text prompts
  • Conceptual overview of voice cloning and synthesis
  • Applications in training content, accessibility, and marketing

Video Content Creation with Generative AI

  • Overview of current text-to-video tools and their realistic capabilities
  • Scripting and storyboarding using prompt sequences
  • Integrating AI-generated text, images, audio, and video into cohesive assets
  • Editing and refining AI-created video output

Multimodal AI and Integrated Workflows

  • How multimodal models unify reasoning across text, image, audio, and video
  • Building end-to-end content pipelines without coding
  • Real-world case studies from marketing, design, training, and advertising

Ethics, Responsible Use, and What Comes Next

  • Addressing bias, copyright, attribution, and content moderation
  • Privacy and data protection considerations for generative platforms
  • Ensuring disclosure, transparency, and trust with end customers
  • Emerging tools, models, and trends to monitor in the coming 12 months
