Description
Now updated with fresh content for GPT-5.1 and newly re-recorded lessons.
According to a recent announcement, 800 million people worldwide use ChatGPT every week.
And there's been lots of hype about it. Many famous industry leaders are saying it's the next big thing in computing. And that GPT-based (and other Generative Pre-trained Transformers) will revolutionize business.
Let's cut through the hype. This course is entirely hype-free. We're only talking about what it can do today, and giving real, practical examples of ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Claude, CoPilot, and the others in a business context.
In a recent survey, over 40% of employees admit to using ChatGPT to help them with their work. And over 60% have kept that a secret from their boss. ChatGPT today is having a very real impact on the way many people do their jobs, and it's time we talk about that!
There's no shame here. It's a tool. If it can help you do your job a bit better, let's figure out how!
This course covers the following topics:
The basics of ChatGPT – what it is, how it works, what it can and cannot do
Other large language models such as Gemini, Deepseek, Qwen, CoPilot and Claude
How you can apply it to your business in various ways
Best practices
Ethics and considerations

Future outlook
I intend to keep this course updated. This is a fast-moving field, and new features are being deployed monthly. So I cannot claim that this course will be updated every month! But as new things are rolled out, I'll do a video about them and add them to this course.
Also, as new competitors make their way into the public use, I'll update the lessons as well. I've already uploaded a video to demonstrate the new Bard Gemini from Google. There are even open-source models starting to become available. Even Amazon is going to add this functionality to Alexa with Alexa TM. It's going to be an exciting couple of years.
Buy this course on ChatGPT, Gemini, Deepseek, Qwen, CoPilot and Claude today. You'll have Udemy's 30-day money-back guarantee if you don't like it for any reason. There's no risk to you.
Plus you'll continue to get my ongoing insights into the AI/ML space with regular educational announcements in the course and updated videos. You'll have lifetime access to the course for that.
Who this course is for:
- No technical background is required
- Anyone looking to learn how ChatGPT works from a high level
- Anyone interested in using a bot like ChatGPT to improve their business processes
Instructors
Hi there, my name is Scott Duffy. And I love making complex technical topics easy to understand.
This has been the basis of my entire career – as a developer, as a development manager, as a software architect – over the past 20 years. I spend half my time in the world of business, explaining complex technical topics to business owners and stakeholders so that they can understand and agree with my approach to solving their business problems with technical solutions. And the other half with developers, explaining the business reasons behind decisions and ensuring that any decisions made on the technical side don't restrict the business in unexpected ways.
And I'm here on Udemy to teach what I know in an approachable way. I started teaching courses in 2014, and have taught over 1,600,000 students. I am grateful every day for being able to connect with so many students in almost every country around the world.
I'm a certified Enterprise Architect and certified cloud architect. I have been developing with Microsoft technologies for 20 years, starting with Classic ASP, and all the versions of .NET. We now live in the cloud era, with Microsoft Azure being prevalent in most large enterprises. I'm certified as an Azure Architect and Developer too. As well as AWS Solution Architect Associate (SAA).
