Udemy – Think Like an AI Engineer: Modern AI

few times, and still couldn’t explain in plain English how any of it actually works – let alone use it well enough to be taken seriously at work. This course fixes that. You’ll build the real mental model that working AI engineers and product managers use every day. No filler, no forty-hour slog, no “ChatGPT tips” fluff – just the ideas that actually matter for building with AI in 2026, in the right order.

Across 10 short episodes (each under five minutes), you’ll learn:

• How large language models actually work – the one mental model that explains almost everything else
• Prompting like a professional using a repeatable five-part structure
• How to pick the right model for the right job, at the right cost and speed
• Why context is your single biggest lever – and how to control it
• Working with files, images, and your own data, including the basics of RAG
• AI for coding – even if you’ve never written a line
• What agents really are – what’s real, and what’s hype
• Building AI workflows without code using tools like n8n, Zapier, and Make
• Evaluations – the skill that separates serious builders from people guessing
• How to stay current without drowning in AI news
