Generative AI with Ask Sage

3-days Instructor-led

Course Description 

This 3-day course explores the rapidly evolving field of Generative AI, with a focus on language models, image generation, and real-world applications. Participants will learn how generative systems create new content—from text to visuals—and how to apply these tools within enterprise workflows. The course includes hands-on labs using Python, Hugging Face Transformers, and Ask Sage, a platform for conversational AI integration and enterprise knowledge retrieval.
