How AI & LLMs Work: A Fast-Track Crash Course for Busy Professionals
Course description

Why This Course Stands Out
You already understand that AI directly impacts your career, products, and business strategy. However, delving into transformers, model architecture, and machine learning can be complex and time-consuming.
This course addresses the problem by:
- Skipping mountains of theory,
- Providing an intuitive, visual understanding of AI,
- All in just a few hours, without a specialized educational background.
This is the only course that provides a deep technical understanding of LLM through a real implementation of GPT-2 in spreadsheets.
Who This Course Is For
The course is ideal for STEM professionals:
- Software and Web Developers
- Engineers and Scientists
- Product and Project Managers
- Technical Sales and Marketing Specialists
- Leaders and Directors shaping AI strategy
No ML experience is required—just a technical background.
What You Will Master
Based on a spreadsheet implementation of GPT-2, you will:
- Understand how large language models work—very quickly
- Break down all key components: tokenization, embeddings, attention, transformer layers
- Develop genuine AI literacy for managing products and teams
- Lay the foundation for further learning and your own AI projects
Why Spreadsheets
You don’t need to know how to program or have knowledge of advanced mathematics.
The course uses a no-code approach based on spreadsheets, making complex principles:
- visual,
- interactive,
- and easily memorable.
You won’t just watch—you will explore the model from the inside, step by step.
Practical Outcome
By the end of the course, you will clearly understand how transformers power models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama, and you will also gain a ready tool in spreadsheet form for independent experimentation.
