    Most people use AI tools every day - but very few know how to talk to them effectively. The difference between a frustrating AI experience and a powerful one comes down to one thing: how you prompt. This course teaches you exactly that. Prompt Engineering 101 is a hands-on, practical course designed to help everyday users, professionals, and entrepreneurs dramatically improve the quality of results they get from AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Claude, and others. No coding background required - just a desire to work smarter. Students will learn the anatomy of a great prompt, how to give AI proper context, how to iterate and refine outputs, and how to build prompt templates they can reuse across personal and professional scenarios. By the end of this course, students will interact with AI tools with significantly more precision, confidence, and speed. This course is also a recommended prerequisite for AI Agents 101.
