This course has been updated in line with the exam update as per 22 July 2026 and 14 October 2026.

In this AB-100 exam preparation course:

• We'll start with Copilot Studio, creating classic orchestrated agents and generative AI single-agents. We'll add key phrases to a trigger, and use messages, questions, and conditions using variables in a topic. We'll creating instructions and knowledge sources, design data processing and reviewing data for grounding, and validate data residency and movement compliance.

• We'll continue with Copilot Studio, looking at autonomous agents, which run based on an event, agents which use other agents, tools, Model Context Protocol servers, and Computer Use tools. We'll also look at how to analyze, monitor and tune AI-powered business solutions.

• We'll then look at other services which can use AI agents. We'll look at Microsoft Foundry, and create custom models, Foundry Tools, security and governance. We'll see how we can create agents in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. Finally, we'll see how we can use AI in Power Apps and the AI Hub, and how to modify existing agents and more in Dynamics 365.

No prior knowledge is required, but some knowledge of some of these services is preferable. This course comes complete with quizzes, Copilot Studio practice activities, and practice tests, so you can be sure that you are learning.

Once you have completed this course, you will have an expanded knowledge of how to create agents. With some practice, you could even take the official Microsoft AB-100 exam. If you pass this exam and you have one of the 12 pre-requisite exams (in Power Platform, Dynamics 365 or the AI-102 exam), you would then receive the "Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect" certificate. This would look good on your CV or resume.
