Python and Flask are widely used for developing web applications and combining them with artificial intelligence (AI) enables developers to build intelligent, interactive solutions. Professionals with practical experience in AI-enabled application development are in high demand.
In this course, you will apply foundational Python skills to develop AI-powered applications using the Flask framework. You will work as a developer to create application logic, exchange data using Watson AI libraries, write unit tests, and package applications for distribution.As you progress through the course, you will demonstrate your skills by building a functional AI-enabled web application, gaining hands-on experience in both development and deployment processes.For individuals seeking practical experience in building AI applications with Python and Flask, this course provides a strong foundation and a project-ready addition to your portfolio.This course comprises three purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.
It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules. It is anticipated that you will complete the course in 11 hours. However, as long as the course is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community through the course discussion space.
The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include discussion space, videos, reading material, quizzes, hands-on labs, quizzes and final assignment.
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.
You will be able to:
- Develop an AI-powered application using basic Python skills.
- Describe the purpose of unit testing and packaging.
- Test your Python application.
- Create a Python package.
- Intermediate Python developers who have completed a foundational Python course.

FAQs
This course uses the Flask framework in Python to demonstrate how to connect Watson AI libraries with your app logic. You will gain practical experience in AI-enabled web application development, creating endpoints, managing requests and responses, and deploying interactive AI-powered apps such as sentiment analysis and emotion detection.
Yes. You will complete two main Python Flask projects:
- A sentiment analysis project that classifies text into positive or negative categories.
- An emotion detector project that identifies emotions from user input.
These projects give you real-world practice in building and deploying practical AI web apps with Flask.
Yes. You will practice writing and running unit tests to ensure reliable code, and also learn about Python application packaging and testing. By the end, you will know how to create a distributable Python package, which is a key skill in developing AI applications with Python and Flask.
Absolutely. The course guides you through deploying web apps with Flask, covering routes, requests, responses, error handling, and dynamic features. You will also learn about decorators, additional Flask features, and how to put your AI Flask app into production.
Completing this course adds hands-on Flask projects for portfolio building, including a working emotion detector and sentiment analysis app. These Python Flask projects showcase your ability to develop AI-enabled applications with Python and the Flask framework, which will impress employers looking for practical AI development skills.
