This foundational course is designed to transform traditional deterministic software developers into hands-on AI-native product builders. Rather than simply teaching how to use AI tools, the course guides learners step-by-step through building an AI-native product or service from the ground up - covering prompt orchestration pipelines, context-window token management, document parsing, and localized data retrieval architectures. Learners move beyond basic AI chat interfaces to programmatically engineer a stable, predictable, and fully working AI-native product or service that interfaces securely with Large Language Models.
Rapid digitization across enterprise engineering platforms in Bangladesh and around the world has sparked an intense, immediate need for software developers who can go beyond using basic AI chat interfaces and instead build a working AI-native product or service — one that programmatically and securely interfaces with Large Language Models.
To help students move from simply using AI chat tools to actually building an AI-native product or service — learning the basic skills needed to create AI-powered software that works reliably and safely.
