How I Built and Delivered an AI Training Program in Central Asia (And Tools I Used Along the Way)

ASKAR AITUOV — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 08:11:12 +0000

In the past year, I had the chance to design and deliver a hands-on AI training program for two large organizations in Kazakhstan. I want to share what I taught, how I built it, and how this type of practical training can be scaled for global teams.

👨‍🏫 What the Course Covers

My training focused on helping non-technical teams (PMs, analysts, startup founders) use practical GenAI tools:

🧠 Prompt engineering basics
🛠️ Using LLMs like ChatGPT / Gemini for everyday tasks
🔍 Evaluating outputs (hallucinations, compliance, etc.)
📄 Case study: Building internal copilots with no-code tools

👉 Learn more or book a session: devsmap.com/for-companies

🧩 Why This Matters

Many companies want to "do AI", but don't know where to start. This training helps teams go from zero to value — using tools they already have.

"It was the first time our managers understood how GenAI could work for their daily workflow."

– Participant, Almaty-based tech company

🧰 Tools I Used to Build This

Here are some key tools I used to create, deploy, and support the course:

💬 DevsBot: My own SaaS that helps PMs analyze user stories and plan test cases. It even matches AI tools to requirements.

👉 Try it at devs.bot
🌍 DevsMap: A curated directory of coworking spaces, IT companies, and tech visa info for digital nomads.

👉 devsmap.com
📚 Youtube channel Devs map for regular online streams with TECH and startups folks across the globe

💡 Want This Training?

If you're a company, startup, or community in Central Asia (or beyond) — I’d love to bring this course to your team.
