# Guidelines The course is organized in **four lectures** that cover the full **life-cycle of an AI & ML product** from the research and formulation of the business idea, how initial and user data is collected, curated, and standardized, so it can be fed back to the system, what the tools that are available to train and evaluate your ML models are, followed by best practices when deploying and monitoring your model. Each lecture contains a series of short and practical lessons, along with some recommended readings at the end. ## Tools This course is taught in an interactive environment hosted in [Gitbook](https://www.gitbook.com/) that lets learners exchange opinions, rate the content, and share their thoughts with the instructors and whole community. In order to achieve that, a really important part of this course does not only live in the content pages exclusively but also in its community (*join the Discord community if you have not done it yet!*[![Discord](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/721a04c8d44d23c9284fbe1eac71f39b6f544db7/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f646973636f72642f3436333735323832303032363337363230322e7376673f6c6162656c3d266c6f676f3d646973636f7264266c6f676f436f6c6f723d66666666666626636f6c6f723d373338394438266c6162656c436f6c6f723d364137454332)](https://discord.gg/gP6z2nR)) and page comments. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
