Generative AI for Beginners

Generative AI for Beginners is Microsoft’s introductory course for building generative-AI applications, organised through concepts, build exercises and code examples in its official README.

Features described on the official site

• The course separates Learn concept lessons from Build practical lessons and links further-study resources.
• The README describes Python/TypeScript examples, environment setup and cloud or local model paths.

Suggested starting workflow

• Read course setup and language prerequisites first.
• Choose a concept lesson and check its services, dependencies and costs.
• Understand the inputs and outputs before setting up an environment and running a minimal example.

These are editorial starting suggestions based on product purpose, not workflows tested by this site.

Before you use it

• Not tested hands-on here; feature descriptions come from official material.
• Pricing, regions, languages, commercial use, watermarks and export conditions have not been verified for a single plan.
• The official static README was read, but no example was run. Accessible course materials do not establish free model APIs, subscriptions or local hardware.
