Today, Google is launching a new GenAI course, Prompting Essentials, to help anyone, even those without prior experience, design better prompts and use AI more effectively.
The demand to learn GenAI from industry leaders remains strong. The Google AI Essentials course, launched in April, has become the most popular GenAI course on Coursera of all time.
“Effective prompting is key to unlocking generative AI’s full potential,” said Lisa Gevelber, Founder of Grow with Google. “Google’s Prompting Essentials course, developed by Google experts with input from leading companies, equips people at all experience levels with the skills to prompt AI tools for increased productivity, creativity, and problem-solving at work and in everyday life.”
GenAI users save about five hours a week, enabling them to take on more tasks, new challenges, and strategic projects, according to BCG data. Google Prompting Essentials will help people across roles and industries design prompts that consistently deliver useful results, amplifying AI’s impact.
In less than ten hours, AI experts at Google teach learners to:
- Identify which tasks AI can best handle.
- Leverage a simple 5-step framework to write effective prompts.
- Design prompts to draft emails, convert meeting notes into action items, extract key insights from reports, accelerate data analysis, and even simulate tough conversations.
- Build a library of reusable prompts.
- Write prompts with responsible practices in mind like evaluating output for bias and errors.
Upon completion, learners earn a shareable certificate to showcase their new skills to their network.
