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.
