Doodle to Code: A Practical guide to getting started with Generative AI

Learn the fundamentals of Generative AI and related technologies from doodles and apply the knowledge by coding. Each content comes with a video, conceptual doodles, and hands-on projects to build a practical app with conversational AI. Optimize your knowledge and enhance your skills!

Prerequisites

For coding exercises, it is recommended to use Visual Studio Code for the best experience.

To use Azure AI Services, you generally need to have an Azure account, which allows you to access and manage various Azure services, including AI tools.

Additionally, some exercises use a bot on Microsoft Teams as an example. You can start developing on Teams and access the sandbox for free, but first you need to get:

A Microsoft 365 account with custom app upload permission
A Microsoft 365 tenant
