🧭 Precautions

The course is currently in the process of being completed. The downside is that you may have to wait a long time until the course is fully finished (although it will be supplemented frequently). Please take this into consideration when making your purchase decision.

📋Change History

  • March 14, 2026

    • We have begun revising both the original 1st and 2nd editions into a new 2nd edition (which corresponds to the 3rd edition for the previous 2nd edition). This new 2nd edition is a full-scale revision. Both content and materials have been reinforced. In particular, dynamic simulations (such as in lesson 4-1) are also included.

  • January 12, 2026

    • I have restructured each lesson in Sections 21–22 (the planning practice sections) into section units to accommodate more detailed lessons and added several more practice sections. 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 supplement the content of the sections where videos were previously posted (Section 1 to Section 7) before reposting them. The videos and lesson materials will be replaced with supplemented versions for each lesson unit without prior notice.

  • September 17, 2025

    • I have changed the lecture title from '(For Planners) Understanding the Basics 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 LLM-based practical planning methods.

  • 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 lessons were long, so they 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 a lecture that explains LLM. It is a process of creating someone who can actually plan services using LLM."

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 can you do 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 rather than 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

  • Design improvements from a planning perspective for problems occurring during operation

📚 Who this course is for

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

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

  • Practitioners who need to promote the adoption of internal 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

  • AI·ML·DL·NLP·LLM structures and limitations

  • Compressed understanding to the level a planner needs to know

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

  • Requirements Definition → Functional Design → Data Preparation

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

4. The stage of "operating" LLMs

  • 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."

📚 Teaching Method

Detailed explanations are provided while taking notes based on relevant materials.

I will explain technical content step-by-step so that it can be understood even without a technical background.

Provides thorough explanations to ensure a foundational understanding of the principles of LLM.

📚 Learning Effects

Improving Technical Understanding

  • Build a solid technical foundation by easily and systematically learning the operating principles of LLM and deep learning-based technologies.

Strengthening Practical Planning Capabilities

  • Enhance practical project execution skills by mastering essential prompt strategies, API understanding, and collaboration points required for designing LLM services.

Improving Collaboration Communication

  • You can anticipate communication issues that may arise when collaborating with various roles, such as developers, designers, and PMs, and coordinate them effectively.

Securing Quality Evaluation and Improvement Capabilities

  • By learning the key metrics for evaluating the quality of LLM outputs, you can systematically manage the level of service completion.

📚 How to use the course and expected effects

Usage Guide

  • It is designed for planners to learn self-directedly on their own, but it can also be used effectively in team workshops or study groups.

  • Conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills are maximized when repeated learning is conducted before and after practical application.

Expected Effects

  • Increased project success rates through overall improvement in LLM-related planning capabilities

  • Reduction of misunderstandings and conflicts occurring during the collaboration process

  • Improving service completeness and user satisfaction

  • Securing differentiated planning competitiveness aligned with the latest AI trends


Notes before taking the course


Hands-on Environment

  • Since this is a theory-oriented lecture, no special practice environment is required.

  • However, it is recommended to try virtual planning exercises using tools like ChatGPT.

Learning Materials

  • Format of provided learning materials: Lecture notes provided in PDF format

  • Quantity and Capacity: Learning materials provided for each lesson

Prerequisite Knowledge and Precautions

  • No special prior knowledge is required. This is because the course also explains the background knowledge necessary for planning LLM application services.
