# Day 1 - Jan 21 2026

## Key Learnings:

### 1. What is GenAI?&#x20;

Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of Artificial Intelligence focused on creating *new* content rather than just analyzing existing data. Unlike traditional AI that classifies data (e.g., "Is this spam?"), GenAI generates text, images, code, or audio (e.g., "Write a spam email").

### 2. ML vs. GenAI vs. LLMs

* Machine Learning (ML): The broad field of computers learning from data to make predictions.
* Generative AI (GenAI): A subset of ML specifically designed to generate new data samples similar to the training data.
* Large Language Models (LLMs): A specific type of GenAI trained on massive amounts of text to understand and generate human language (e.g., GPT-4, Llama 3).

### Progress:

* [x] Python 3.10+ Installed
* [x] &#x20;Kiro.dev Setup
* [x] Virtual Environment Created
* [x] First Script `hello_genai.py` Run Successfully

# 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://shankar-lab.gitbook.io/mylearning/15-days-genai-learning-challenge/day-1-jan-21-2026.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
