Master AI-enabled application development with Python and Flask while working on real projects. Strengthen your portfolio with a fully functional AI-powered web app.
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:

Competency building and global certifications employers are actively looking for.
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:
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.
Watson AI libraries are integrated into your AI Flask applications to provide NLP capabilities such as sentiment analysis and emotion detection. This hands-on use of Watson AI demonstrates how to build AI apps using Python and Flask that leverage enterprise-grade AI services.
Yes. By the end of this course, you will be confident in Developing AI Applications with Python and Flask. Youll have completed projects, written unit tests, packaged applications, and deployed AI-powered web apps, skills directly transferable to real-world roles.
Youll learn to use the Flask framework for AI projects by creating endpoints, integrating Watson AI libraries, and building apps that process user input. This process demonstrates how to create an AI-powered Python web app with Flask from scratch.
Deployment involves:
These steps are taught in detail, making web app deployment with Flask clear and practical.
Yes. This is an intermediate-level course intended for learners who already understand Python basics and are ready to apply them to AI-enabled web application development using Flask.
Unlike general AI courses, this one emphasizes hands-on Python Flask projects with real deployment. Youll gain specific experience in AI Flask development, unit testing, packaging, and integrating Watson AI libraries, all of which are practical, job-ready skills.
Python is widely used in AI for tasks such as natural language processing, computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning. In this course, youll see its application in Developing AI Applications with Python and Flask, where Python powers both AI logic and web application deployment.
Flask in Python is a lightweight web framework used for building APIs and web applications. In this course, youll use the Flask framework in Python to integrate AI features into apps, create routes, and deploy them effectively.
Flask AI refers to building AI-enabled applications using the Flask framework. It combines Python-based AI logic or services (such as Watson AI) with Flasks ability to deploy interactive web applications.
