Making Bots

We build a first solution. That way you immediately experience what it is like to have a first 'bot' — for yourself and perhaps already for your organisation.

Why this module

Why this matters

The fastest way to understand AI is to build one yourself. In this module you create your first AI solution, so you immediately experience what it is like to have your own 'bot' — for yourself and possibly already for your organisation.

With this knowledge you can shape your own learning process as efficiently and effectively as possible in the modules that follow: from now on you use AI yourself as a tool for both your studies and your work.

Content

What you will learn

Application

Directly in your practice

You build for your own work context: a bot that answers a real question from your team or department — and you conclude with a professional product and an assessment.

Intranet FAQ

An operations officer builds a bot that answers questions about schemes and forms — with source references.

HR onboarding

An HR adviser creates an assistant that helps new colleagues find their way in their first hundred days.

Customer service pilot

A team coach tests a bot that fields routine questions, so the team keeps time free for complex cases.

How you work

Learning alongside your job

You take this module the way you take the whole programme: classes every other week on Friday and Saturday, with a study load of 15–20 hours per week, of which 10–15 hours is self-study. The teaching is a mix of classroom lessons, practice-based learning, blended learning and working groups or study teams — taught by lecturers who practise the profession themselves on a daily basis.

You conclude each theme with a professional product or a technical solution addressing a real situation in your own work, which you discuss in an assessment with the lecturer. That way your portfolio grows with real work — and your employer benefits directly.

After this module you have a working bot for your own work context, tested with real users, plus a test report.
