Welcome Matt! Great to see your goals. However, "build tools to help to help entrepreneurs automate their businesses" is way too broad. Can you try to niche down? What industry? Which parts of their businesses? Any departments? What's your specialization?

This is the single best resource to start learning AI Engineering: https://learn.deeplearning.ai/ Almost 40 free courses, all the main technologies, created by true experts.

Hi @Shree Prakash! Since you already have the full-stack experience in Java Script, I don't recommend you to start learning Python from Day 1. Just check out OpenAI API and LangChain for Node.js (and leverage your knowledge of React to build cool Web Applications that use powerful LLMs in the back-end). And as much as I respect the recommendations of others, I disagree with them on what you should be learning. The roadmap they described is great for aspiring ML Engineers. But an AI Engineer is a new role, that is only being defined. I predict, AI Engineers will focus on APPLYING existing models (rather than training them). For sure, you should learn the main principles of Prompt Engineering and understand the main LLM parameters, such as temperature, context window, etc. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck, Kris

Great decision @Flor G! AI Is really exciting! The first step you need to take is to find clarity. Because it's impossible to "learn all about AI and ML," you should start with asking yourself these questions: 1. What is your current skillset and learning style? Are you comfortable with math and programming? Do you prefer structured learning (courses) or self-directed exploration? 2. How can you apply AI into your current work, hobbies, interests? What problems can you solve with AI? Can you create a small, manageable project? 3. What specific area of AI and ML interests you most? Is it about language models, videos, images? A combination of all? The biggest mistakes you can make now: 1. Trying to learn all at once. You will quickly get overwhelmed and discouraged. 2. Blindly following the path of others. You must follow your own curiosity, find out what really excites you. You are unique and so is your path to learning AI. Don't forget to have fun! I hope this helps. Kris PS. Don't take advice from people who don't even try to understand you and your situation. They simply assume you are just like them and give advice to the past self. And you're not like them.

@Flor G just take your time! And if you need any help, feel free to DM me.

@Brandon Phillips by back then I meant before SQL Agents. Thank you for your insights, Brandon! So far, I'm team LangChain. But LlamaIndex is definitely on my radar!

@Brandon Phillips happy to hear that! There are plenty of resources to learn LangChain! The community and docs also look strong. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!
