A Learning Path

  1. Python basics, HTTP and JSON (Careeroza Python and FastAPI materials).
  2. This material: tokens, prompts, the API, structured output, embeddings, RAG, tools.
  3. Build 2–3 projects: a document Q&A bot, a support assistant with tools, a semantic product search.
  4. Learn evaluation, cost control and deployment (advance level).
  5. Prepare with the interview level.

Tip: Recruiters for GenAI roles in India ask "what did you build and how did you measure it?". Keep a GitHub repo with a README, a demo video and a small eval table for each project.
