System Analysts play a pivotal role in translating business requirements into technical system designs, ensuring alignment between users, processes, data, and technology. As systems become more complex and organisations demand faster, more adaptive solutions, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful capability to support modern systems analysis.

Advances in Machine Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI enable system analysts to analyse requirements more efficiently, document system specifications, model processes, assess system impacts, and support solution design with greater speed and clarity. AI tools can assist across the full systems analysis lifecycle—from requirements elicitation and system modelling to documentation, validation, and change analysis.

This course provides a practical, system-focused introduction to AI for System Analysts. Participants will gain a clear understanding of AI concepts, explore how AI technologies interconnect, and gain hands-on experience using leading AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, Manus, DeepSeek, Qwen, and NotebookLM. The emphasis is on real system analysis use cases, responsible AI usage, and improving the quality and consistency of system deliverables—without requiring programming skills.

While everyone’s talking about ChatGPT and Gemini, DeepSeek has been quietly pushing boundaries and catching the attention of AI enthusiasts. In this course, we’ll peel back the curtains on what makes DeepSeek special, and show you how it fits into the bigger AI picture – no buzzwords or marketing fluff, just real talk about what these tools can (and can’t) do.

We’ll dive into the practical stuff: understanding AI fundamentals, mastering prompt engineering across different models, and discovering where DeepSeek truly shines compared to its more famous cousins. Whether you’re an AI skeptic or enthusiast, you’ll walk away with the skills to cut through the tech jargon and make these tools work for you in meaningful ways. Think of it as your BS-free guide to navigating the AI landscape, with a special spotlight on one of its most intriguing new players.

Ever wondered how to make AI tools work their magic? You’re in the right place. In this course, we’ll crack the code on getting the most out of AI powerhouses like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and more. Think of it as learning how to speak “AI” fluently – because let’s face it, these tools are everywhere now, and knowing how to use them well is like having a superpower in your back pocket.

We’ll start by demystifying AI (no computer science degree required!), explore how these large language models actually think (spoiler: it’s fascinating), and then dive into the art of prompt engineering. By the end, you’ll be crafting prompts that make AI tools dance to your tune, whether you’re a creative professional, tech enthusiast, or just curious about making these tools work better for you.
