Course Description

Build a working AI agent in a single day. In this free, beginner-friendly workshop, Amelia Roberts walks you through the essentials of Copilot Studio—planning what your agent should do, grounding it with the right data, and shaping conversations that stay helpful and on-task. You’ll explore the building blocks step by step: prompts, actions/tools, connectors, and simple guardrails that keep experiences safe and reliable. From first sketch to first publish, you’ll practice how to test, iterate, and improve your agent’s responses. We’ll also touch on hand-offs to humans, basic authentication, and options for sharing your agent in channels like Microsoft Teams or the web. By the end, you’ll have a clear recipe you can repeat at work—design, wire up, test, and ship agents that actually get things done.
