YandexGPT Foundations: Prompting, API Integration, and AI Assistants

Generative AI is transforming how we work, but accessing global models can often be complex and restricted. YandexGPT offers a powerful, highly accessible alternative for natural language processing, text generation, and automation. This text-based course guides you from absolute beginner to confidently working with large language models. You will understand how generative AI works under the hood, learn to write highly effective prompts, and explore how to connect to the API to build your own custom AI assistants. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of Large Language Models (LLMs) and how generative text systems process information. - Master prompt engineering techniques, including system prompts, few-shot prompting, and context setting. - Configure API parameters such as temperature, token limits, and system roles to control model behavior. - Explore the basics of building custom AI assistants and integrating them into workflows. - Learn the foundational patterns of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to ground model responses in specific data. The course begins with essential AI terminology and foundational concepts before moving into practical prompting strategies. You will then progress to structured API integration, reading through clear explanations and code examples designed for non-programmers. This course is designed for absolute beginners, business professionals, and aspiring developers who want to harness the power of LLMs without needing a prior background in IT or computer science.
