- How tools & function calling fits into the Advanced AI Engineering track
- A hands-on project step you can put in your portfolio
The hands-on project
Design 3 tools you'd give an AI assistant for a specific use case (e.g. a store: get_order, check_inventory, create_return). For each, write its name, a clear description, and its inputs. Mark which need a human confirmation before running.
The full brief, voice tutor walkthrough, and feedback are inside the lesson.
