It was especially useful for understanding the role of structured evals in building reliable AI products.

Thank you for a very well-structured and insightful workshop! I especially appreciated the hands-on format and the focus on working with real use cases and data. Building an evaluation framework step by step, from writing a prompt to identifying failure patterns and investigating metrics, made the learning very practical and immediately applicable.
I left with a much better mental model for thinking about AI-driven features - as iterative product systems that require experimentation, measurement, and continuous refinement. Highly recommended for anyone with or without experience working with AI in a product context!

I came into this workshop with basic theoretical knowledge.
In 3 hours, we went from writing a first system prompt to running experiments across multiple models, annotating real AI failures, building custom evals, and measuring prompt improvements.
The evals section was my favorite. Defining your own accuracy metric - loved it!
If you work in product or engineering and you're tired of prompting by intuition, this is the workshop to take.

This was a very hands-on workshop. I appreciate that we each worked on our own use case and Madalina and Catalina provided feedback to our challenges.
We walked through the whole workflow of AI Evals, from prompt, test cases, testing with various models, annotation, metrics, Evals, and iterating on the prompt. I recommend this to anyone wanting to understand how to make sure your AI feature/product actually delivers on its promise.

I highly recommend the “Build and Evaluate Your First AI Features” course to anyone who wants to better understand LLMs and AI. Even if you’re not sure what kind of AI feature you want to build yet, this course will help you gain the clarity you need. Once you go through the material and understand the concepts, it truly feels like a curtain has been lifted.
Catalina and Madalina are amazing teachers. They explain everything in a clear and approachable way, making complex topics easy to understand, even for people without a technical background.
The live sessions are truly priceless. Being able to ask questions, see real examples, and learn directly from their experience adds incredible value to the course and makes the learning experience much more impactful. Overall, it’s an excellent starting point for anyone interested in building AI features or simply understanding how modern AI systems work.
