Whether you want to emulate a historical figure, create a digital twin, or develop a knowledge assistant, this workshop equips you with the tools and insights to bring your ideas to life. No coding skill required. All you’ll need is an account with OpenAI and 5-10 documents to begin training your model.
In future workshops we’ll explore other models for advanced chatbot creation and deploying these on websites.
