Build & Sell Your Own Robust AI Agents using Python & OpenAI

Proyecto de clase práctica

In this hands-on class project, you’ll build your very own deployable AI Agent Suite—complete with a ChatGPT-powered assistant and an AI image generator—and prepare it for real-world use or monetization.

You’ll take the tools, frameworks, and strategies you’ve learned throughout the course and apply them to create a professional-grade AI application that you can show off, share in the Project Gallery, or even take to market.

Project Overview
Your mission is to design, build, and prepare for distribution a functional AI tool that integrates OpenAI's language model. You can choose to focus on:

• A custom AI chatbot

• An AI-powered image generation app

• Or a hybrid solution that combines both!

Along the way, you’ll learn how to structure the app for scalability, polish its features for end users, and set it up for monetization—whether that’s through selling software, freelance work, or integrating it into your own business.

Project Steps
Here’s a suggested path to follow to complete your project:

1. Define Your Product Idea
   Choose what kind of AI agent you want to build—chatbot, image generator, or both. Think about your target user and your product’s purpose (e.g., customer support bot, creative writing assistant, AI art tool, etc.).

2. Set Up Your Python Development Environment
   Create a virtual environment, install required packages, and connect to OpenAI’s API. Test out your initial connection to the model.

3. Build the Core AI Functionality

   • For a chatbot: Create the text input/output pipeline using GPT-based completion or chat API.

   • For image generation: Use models like DALL·E or Stable Diffusion via API to generate visuals from prompts.

   • Share Your Final Project
     Upload screenshots, a link to a live demo (optional), a GitHub repo, or a short video walkthrough to the Project Gallery.

What to Submit (Final Deliverable)

Please upload one or more of the following as your project:

• A brief product summary and screenshots of your AI app

• A video demo or screen recording (1–3 minutes)

• A GitHub link to your code repository

• (Optional) A short description of your monetization or deployment strategy

Tip: Focus on Functionality First
Don’t worry about building a flashy UI right away. Focus on getting the core AI interactions working. Once you have something functional, polishing and marketing will be much easier.
