Description

Introduction

As enterprises increasingly adopt AI-powered chatbots, the need for customized responses aligned with brand voice and domain-specific knowledge becomes critical. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT can be fine-tuned to suit enterprise needs, ensuring improved accuracy, relevance, and compliance in automated conversations.

This course provides a comprehensive guide to fine-tuning LLMs for enterprise-grade chatbots, covering techniques, tools, and best practices to tailor models for customer support, HR, IT helpdesk, and more.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of NLP and LLMs

• Familiarity with Python and machine learning concepts

• Knowledge of chatbot architecture is helpful but not mandatory
