Introduction to AI Prompts

Welcome to your complete, jargon-free guide to artificial intelligence (AI) and prompt engineering. This course will help build your knowledge from absolute beginner, giving you the skills to communicate confidently and effectively with AI tools.

About This Course:

This course introduces you to prompt strategies, where you’ll discover how simple text cues and structure act as magic spells guiding AI behaviours. We will explore ethical considerations, recognising and mitigating biases in AI instructions for fair and inclusive outcomes. By mastering prompt structure, you’ll learn how to become proficient and capable of shaping ethical Human-AI interactions to get useful results.

What Will You Learn?

  • In this course you will learn what AI is and what it can do for you. We cover the difference between an AI Assistant and an AI Agent

Course Content

Module 1 – Understanding AI
Before writing prompts, you must understand what you are communicating or dealing with. AI is not magic; it is an advanced pattern-matching software program. It is not perfect and does make mistakes, we have to know this up front. We all have problems communicating with our peers and often get the wrong answer from them based on their understanding of what we asked or wanted them to do. Knowing and understanding this will help us communicate with these AI tools. No matter what AI tool or program we choose to use, communicating our requirements accurately is of utmost importance to get meaningful results in the shortest possible time.

Module 2 – Prompt Engineering Basics
Prompt engineering is simply the practice of choosing the right words and structures to get the exact output you want from an AI tool.

Module 3 – The Prompt Formula
To get predictable results, always structure your prompts using this simple, five-part framework: Role, Goal, Context, Constraints, and Output Format.

Module 4 – Practical Examples
Here are optimized prompts covering various everyday tasks, along with a breakdown of why they function so effectively.

Module 5 – Advanced Prompting
Once you master basic prompts, use these simple techniques to handle more complex projects.

Module 6 – AI Agents
AI agents represent the next major evolution in how we interact with technology.

Module 7 – Hands-on Practice
To master prompt engineering, you must practice. Copy these tasks into an AI assistant to see how it responds.

Module 8 – Resources
Accelerate your learning with these high-quality, completely free foundational resources. They range from official vendor documentation to open-source interactive guides.

Module 9 – Final Quiz
This is the final Quiz to see what you remembered about this course.
