Reviews

The course provided an exceptional foundation in AI within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It delved deep into topics like code refactoring, test data generation, and documentation, giving me a comprehensive understanding of how AI can seamlessly integrate into our workflows. I was particularly fascinated by the insights into Large Language Models (LLMs). I also learned new scenarios in GenAI like business reasoning and agentic workflows.

I really liked how everything is structured and the presentation of the material in general, plus we do not forget that we can use models locally, which can prevent data leakage.
