I appreciated that this course doesn't just focus on one API but shows you how to work with Claude and ChatGPT interchangeably. The prompt design section was genuinely useful for real projects. My only gripe is that the error handling examples felt a bit rushed toward the end.

دورة رائعة توضح الفرق بين واجهتي Claude وChatGPT بطريقة عملية وسهلة الفهم.

Excellent cours pour apprendre à construire des outils IA en combinant les API de Claude et ChatGPT.

Corso completo e ben organizzato per chi vuole costruire strumenti AI personalizzati usando sia Claude che ChatGPT. Gli esempi pratici mostrano davvero come strutturare le chiamate e gestire i prompt in modo efficace. Sono riuscito a creare un piccolo assistente funzionante già durante il corso.

Utile ma un po' denso a tratti.

Ho seguito questo corso per capire meglio come integrare Claude e ChatGPT nello stesso progetto, e devo dire che l'approccio comparativo è stato davvero utile. Le lezioni sono organizzate bene, si parte dalle chiamate API di base per poi arrivare a costruire strumenti più complessi. Mi è piaciuto molto vedere gli stessi esempi replicati su entrambe le API, così si capiscono davvero le differenze pratiche. L'unico punto debole secondo me è che la parte finale sul deployment è un po' troppo veloce rispetto al resto. Nel complesso però sono uscito dal corso con un tool funzionante e con le idee molto più chiare.

What stood out to me was how the course treats Claude and ChatGPT side by side instead of picking a favorite. You get to see the same tool built with both APIs, which made the tradeoffs click for me instantly. By the end I had a working assistant that switches between models depending on the task.

Claude ve ChatGPT API'lerini aynı kursta karşılaştırmalı öğrenmek gerçekten fark yaratıyor. Anlatım akıcı ve örnekler gerçek hayattan seçilmiş, sıkılmadan takip ettim. Kurs sonunda kendi küçük AI aracımı sıfırdan yazabildim.

Claude ve ChatGPT API'lerini birlikte öğretmesi güzel ama bazı bölümler biraz hızlı geçiliyor.

Good comparison of Claude and ChatGPT API workflows, though I wish there was more on cost optimization.

এই কোর্সটা আমার জন্য একদম নতুন একটা দুনিয়া খুলে দিয়েছে, কারণ আগে আমি শুধু একটা API নিয়ে কাজ করতাম আর এখানে Claude আর ChatGPT দুটোই একসাথে শেখানো হয়েছে। প্রতিটা লেসন খুব গোছানো, প্রথমে বেসিক কল দেখানো হয় তারপর ধীরে ধীরে আরও জটিল টুল বানানো শেখানো হয়। প্রম্পট লেখার কৌশলগুলো এত পরিষ্কারভাবে বোঝানো হয়েছে যে আমি সহজেই নিজের প্রজেক্টে প্রয়োগ করতে পেরেছি। উদাহরণগুলো বাস্তব জীবনের সমস্যা থেকে নেওয়া, তাই একঘেয়ে লাগেনি। কোর্স শেষ করার পর আমি নিজের একটা ছোট AI টুল বানিয়ে ফেলেছি যেটা দুটো মডেলের মধ্যে সুইচ করতে পারে।

Kursus ini membantu saya faham perbezaan antara API Claude dan ChatGPT dengan cara yang praktikal. Contoh projek yang digunakan memang berguna untuk latihan sebenar. Cuma bahagian tentang pengurusan token rasa agak pantas untuk pemula.

ClaudeとChatGPTのAPIを使って自分専用のツールを作る、という目標がこの講座でやっと現実になりました。APIの基本から丁寧に始まるので、コードにそれほど自信がない私でもつまずかずに進められました。プロンプトエンジニアリングの章で、指示の書き方ひとつで出力の質がここまで変わるのかと驚きました。基本的なコードパターンを真似しながら、社内向けの要約ツールを実際に組み上げられたのが一番の収穫です。両方のモデルを比べながら学べる構成も実践的でよかったです。これから自分のアイデアをツールにしたい人に強くおすすめします。

Kursus ini benar-benar membuka wawasan saya tentang cara kerja API Claude dan ChatGPT secara bersamaan. Penjelasan tentang perbedaan gaya prompt di antara kedua model sangat membantu. Saya jadi bisa membangun tool AI kecil sendiri untuk pekerjaan sehari-hari.
