Free course: Cheat at Search Essentials

I’ve seen search done so many ways in my decade plus leading teams. And I want to warn you: if you’re not cheating, you’re doing it wrong

Cheating at Search is a lifestyle. I teach Cheating at Search with LLMs. But the ‘Cheat at Search lifestyle’ goes beyond just LLMs. So in this free series of talks you’ll learn how to Cheat with the essential concepts and techniques. Hence my “Cheat at Search: Essentials” course.

Who you are: Maybe you inherited a role on a search team and you’re not quite sure what to do? Or maybe you’ve gotten a lot of knowledge from on-the-job learning, and would like to fill in any gaps you’re missing? Or you want to find a quick/easy way to make a stepchange with an overworked, understaffed search team. For anyone from PMs, ML Engineers, Backend Engineers, to Data Scientists.

Now there’s a free course for you! This course “Cheat at Search: Essentials” teaches you techniques for cheating at search with the core, foundational techniques of a search implementation.
