What the course covers

  • Three modules introduce Custom GPT instructions, knowledge files/RAG, tools/actions and persona design; later units cover systematic test cases/benchmarks, clear output patterns and handling ambiguity, knowledge gaps and risky requests.
  • Travel-and-business-expense GPT is the recurring example: flights, hotels and transportation within policy/budget and expense/reimbursement processing.

Practice & assessment

Six assignments are listed, including creating a persona-based custom GPT, a GPT test-case generator, menu-based flows and response-improvement patterns. The page describes testing expected, ambiguous and high-risk cases; work quality and whether students publish working products are not independently confirmed.
