Start by learning Python or JavaScript, then dive into NLP (Natural Language Processing) and chatbot platforms like Dialogflow, Amazon Lex, or Microsoft Bot Framework. 

This course will teach you everything from building basic bots to deploying AI-powered chatbots on Facebook, Slack, and more. Gain hands-on experience, work on real projects, and keep up with AI trends to grow your skills.

While building something as advanced as ChatGPT requires deep expertise in machine learning and large language models (LLMs), you can start by creating smart chatbots using tools like Dialogflow, OpenAI’s API, or Rasa. This course will help you master AI-driven chatbots, and later, you can explore LLM fine-tuning to develop more sophisticated AI assistants.

  Amazon Lex (AWS) and Dialogflow (Google) are both NLP platforms. This course teaches you how to use both, so you can choose the best tool for your needs.
