Rasa for Beginners

Build a Real AI Assistant, Taught by Rasa Itself

Developed directly by instructors from Rasa, this hands-on, project-based course teaches the fundamentals of building AI assistants by having learners build one from scratch: a bot that collects a daily health log by text message and writes it to a spreadsheet. It's a practical way to learn the framework rather than working through isolated theory.

Who It's For

Developers new to Rasa who want a guided first project, including the API and messaging integration pieces, will get the most out of this course.

Key Takeaways

• Creating and formatting training data, and collecting user input with Rasa forms
