What you’ll need
Practical AI Foundations and Workflow Automation Lab, or equivalent familiarity with prompts, JSON, validation, and retry behavior. Python programming is optional for running the supplied lab. A text editor and a modern browser for reading; Python 3.10 or newer for the optional offline capstones. No API key, AI subscription, or hosted service is required. AI outputs in the capstones are authored practice fixtures, not live model responses.
A measured shadow rollout.
Work through the exercises at your own pace and adapt the result to a task that matters to you.
