Online event

​Join us for an interactive Q&A session about the [LLM Zoomcamp](https://airtable.com/appPPxkgYLH06Mvbw/shr7WtxHEPXxaui0Q), our free online course about real-life applications of large language models (LLMs). You will learn how to build an AI bot answering questions about your knowledge base. No previous exposure to AI or ML is required!

​This event is perfect for anyone curious about the LLM Zoomcamp and considering registering.

​You'll have the opportunity to:

* ​Ask direct questions and gain insights into large language models
* ​Learn about course assignments, scoring, and how to receive feedback
* ​Get tips on how to navigate the course materials effectively

​
Ask your questions directly to the instructor, Alexey Grigoev, who designed the course!
