We are currently in the process of completing the course. Please be aware that you may have to wait a long time until the course is fully finished (although we will be adding supplementary materials frequently). Please take this into consideration when making your purchase decision.

📋 Change History

  • March 16, 2026

    • To ensure a thorough revision for the 3rd edition, the sample document tables of contents that were included in some existing sections have been deleted. Once all the 3rd edition revision videos and materials are posted, I will reorganize and upload the sample documents again.

  • March 14, 2026

    • We have begun revising both the existing 1st and 2nd editions into the 3rd edition. This 3rd edition is a completely revised version. Both the content and materials have been reinforced. In particular, dynamic simulations (as in Lesson 4-1) are also included.

  • January 12, 2026

    • Sections 21–22 (the planning practice sections) have been reorganized by converting each lesson into its own section to accommodate more detailed content, and several additional practice sections have been added. The actual lesson content will be filled in over a long period of time.

  • January 9, 2026

    • I have reorganized the table of contents by adding lesson numbers after the section numbers (e.g., Lesson 1-1). In this process, some inconsistencies have occurred between the lesson material numbers, video numbers, and the lesson numbers of the lectures. I will correct these over time.

  • November 4, 2025

    • I plan to lower the difficulty and reinforce the content of the sections where videos were previously posted (Section 1 to Section 7) before reposting them. The videos and class materials will be replaced with reinforced versions for each lesson unit without prior notice.

  • September 17, 2025

    • I have changed the lecture title from '(For Planners) Basic Understanding of LLM' to '(For Planners) Basics of LLM and Understanding LLM-based Service Planning.' This is because the newly added practical sections (8–17) cover methods for LLM-based practical planning.

  • September 10, 2025

    • I have added ten sections (Section 8 to Section 17) belonging to the [Practical] and [Advanced] courses. These added sections go beyond just understanding LLMs and are intended for planners who want to apply LLMs. At the same time, I have also switched the previously private sections (Section 6 to Section 7) to public.


  • August 22, 2025

    • I have changed the supplementary sections that are not yet complete—specifically, the lessons belonging to the [Advanced] course—to private. I plan to make them public section by section as they are completed in the future. This measure was taken to reduce confusion for students, so I would appreciate your understanding.

  • July 31, 2025

    • 1. The existing Lesson 4, Lesson 5, and Lesson 6 have been split and re-uploaded. The content remains the same, but the original long lessons have been divided into segments of approximately 10 minutes each.

    • 2. The table of contents for the two supplementary sections has been released. Each lesson video and lesson material will be posted soon.

📚 What makes this course different?

This lecture is not about explaining LLMs. It is a process for "creating people who can actually plan services using LLMs."

Many generative AI courses stop at technical concepts, tool usage, and trend introductions. However, the questions planners face in practice are entirely different.

  • Does this service really need an LLM?

  • Is a prompt enough, or is RAG necessary?

  • What data needs to be prepared, and to what extent?

  • Considering the cost, risk, and legal issues, is it a launchable design?

This course is a lecture that forces you to answer these questions to the very end.

📚 What you can achieve after completing the course (Learning Outcomes)

After completing the course, students will be able to judge for themselves and explain in writing the following.

① Planners can decide whether or not to introduce LLM.

  • Determining the necessity of LLM based on planning logic, rather than trends or top-down instructions

  • Presenting the basis for comparison with existing rule-based systems, search, and automation

② You can "design" the RAG structure rather than just "explaining" it

  • Define data scope, quality standards, and indexing strategies

  • Determining the trade-off between search precision vs. response quality

③ Write PRDs that enable collaboration with development, design, and legal teams

  • Actionable requirements documents, not abstract ideas

  • Realistic design including risk, cost, and operations

④ You can design a structure that leads from PoC to launch and through to operations.

  • Defining test scenarios and KPIs

  • Designing improvements from a planning perspective for issues occurring during operation

📚 Who this course is for

  • A planner who has "been put in charge of" generative AI services

  • Not a technical explanation, but for PMs/POs who need to make decisions and take responsibility

  • Practitioners who need to promote the adoption of in-house LLMs

  • People who want to prove they can "plan with AI" rather than just "knowing AI"

  • Those who want to understand NLP, LLM, GPT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and ChatGPT

📚 What you will learn (Summary of Sections 1–17)

1. The stage of "understanding" LLM

  • Structures and limitations of AI, ML, DL, NLP, and LLM

  • Condensed understanding to the level required for planners

2. The stage of "selecting" an LLM

  • Comparison of Prompt / Fine-tuning / RAG strategies

  • Determining the optimal approach for each service type

3. The stage of "designing" the LLM

  • Requirement Definition → Functional Design → Data Preparation

  • Integrated design of UX, cost, quality, and risk

4. The stage of "operating" the LLM

  • Testing, monitoring, and improvement loops

  • Considering collaboration, contracts, and organizational expansion

📚 What you will learn (Summary of Sections 21–47)

After learning the theory, you will complete the planning based on actual service themes.

  • Content, Coding, Search, Chatbot, API, Copilot

  • In-house LLM, Industry-specific SaaS, Public·Finance·Healthcare

  • Agent-based automation, decision support systems

Each track consists of at least 6 intensive design sessions,

The goal is to reach the stage of "Idea → Structural Design → PRD Completion."
