Course overview
A useful assistant is not a chatbot with a clever name. It is a clearly scoped service with the right instructions, context, tools, tests, and moments for human judgment.
What you will be able to do
- Choose a narrow assistant job with a measurable definition of good work.
- Write system instructions that cover role, process, boundaries, and output.
- Prepare trustworthy knowledge and decide what should not be included.
- Create evaluation cases for normal, ambiguous, adversarial, and high-risk inputs.
- Launch a small assistant responsibly and improve it from observed failures.
Your course project
Build a complete assistant specification and working prototype for a real recurring task, with a ten-case test suite and launch checklist.
Designed for
