About this Guided Project
Large language models are becoming essential tools in many organizations, powering everything from customer support to content creation. However, without proper oversight, these models can produce content that is off-topic, inappropriate, or misaligned with your company’s values. This can lead to reputational risks and ethical concerns.

This project is designed to help you take control of how AI communicates on behalf of your organization. You will learn how to guide and shape the output of language models so that it stays relevant, professional, and aligned with your communication goals. Whether you are a data scientist, product owner, or content strategist, this project will give you the tools to ensure that AI-generated content reflects your brand’s voice and standards.

A Look at the Project Ahead

In this hands-on guided project, you will explore practical methods for building and applying guardrails that keep AI interactions focused and appropriate. You will gain experience with techniques that help monitor and manage the behavior of large language models in real time.

By the end of this project, you will be able to:
  • Create and apply strategies that ensure AI-generated content remains consistent with your company’s communication goals and professional tone.
  • Implement safeguards that detect and prevent the generation of content that is off-topic or inappropriate, helping to protect your organization’s reputation and uphold ethical standards.
