Building an AI-Powered Game

Join our new short course, Building an AI-Powered Game, with Together AI and AI Dungeon! Learn from Niki Birkner, Senior Product Manager at Together AI, and Nick Walton, CEO and Co-Founder of Latitude.

This course teaches you how to build a LLM-based application by creating your own AI-powered text-based game. You’ll create a world with hierarchical content generation based on a prompt, setting up its core mechanics, and giving it a simple Gradio user interface. 

By the end of this course, you’ll have a playable text-based game to share with your friends, built from scratch using LLMs. You will be guided through the building blocks of app development using LLMs, including incorporating safeguards using Llama Guard. 

What you’ll do: 

• Use prompt engineering to create a world with hierarchical content generation so your narrative is consistent and the AI can flesh out your game.
• Build the first version of your game with a user interface, load the world, and define the core action loop of the game, so you can have a game to play and interact with.
• Implement safe user-dependent and context-dependent guardrails into your game application with Llama Guard and custom content policy.
• Learn LLM tool calling by adding story and state components that improve your game’s memory, track inventory, and show progress.  

With these techniques, you’ll hone your AI skills by building your own sharable game!

Anyone who has basic Python knowledge and wants to learn how to build with LLMs in a hands-on, fun way!
