Phase 4

Structured Outputs, Automation and Knowledge Assistants

Turn GenAI from a chat tool into controlled workflows that extract information, produce structured outputs, and answer from trusted documents.

Structured Outputs and Workflow Automation

Weeks 7-8

Project: Structured AI Workflow
Structured outputs, tables, JSON-style responses, checklists, scorecards, templates, and validation rules
Lead triage, support classification, content calendar planning, report drafting, HR screening support, and operations checklists

RAG, Document Q&A and Knowledge Assistants

Weeks 9-10

Project: Knowledge Assistant Prototype
RAG concepts, embeddings, semantic search, document chunks, metadata, answer grounding, and citations
NotebookLM-style document workflows, policy assistants, training Q&A, internal knowledge support, and research copilots
Good source selection, document hygiene, conflicting evidence, outdated information, and low-confidence answers
Evaluation sets, golden answers, citation review, prompt injection awareness, and escalation rules
GenAI workflow

Learners create a grounded assistant over a controlled document set and test whether answers are accurate, cited, and useful.

Phase 5

Responsible AI, Portfolio and Career Acceleration

Package GenAI skills into a credible portfolio with case studies, governance notes, interview stories, and role-ready communication.

Responsible AI and Governance

Week 11

Project: Responsible AI Playbook
Accuracy, transparency, fairness, bias, data minimisation, privacy, copyright awareness, and security basics
AI-use declarations, redaction rules, source tracking, human verification, and final accountability
