The Essential AI Workbench: Python + GitHub + Copilot X + Visual Studio Code Course Outline

Overview
Our 1-day AI Workbench (Python / Copilot X / VS Code) course is designed for non-programmers who want to dive into AI development. You'll learn how to implement and debug AI code using generative AI systems like ChatGPT and Github Copilot X, and the widely-used AI support language Python.

We'll guide you through setting up your integrated developer's environment with Visual Studio Code and Copilot X, and show you how to identify what the programs are doing and how to fix them if there is a problem. Best of all, you don't need to be a programmer - you can simply cut and paste code or accept suggestions from the AI.

By taking this course, you'll be able to customize AI solutions and follow along with examples at OpenAI, Huggingface, or thousands of YouTube videos. Imagine the possibilities - from building your own chatbot to analyzing data for your business, AI is a game-changer. Enroll now and take the first step toward becoming an AI developer!

Prerequisites
Familiarity with basic computer concepts such as file management. No prior Python or programming experience is required.
