You'll also learn how to create effective instructions, organize your agent's behavior, and use knowledge sources to generate accurate and relevant answers.
Most importantly, you'll learn how to properly test and evaluate your AI agent. Building an agent is easy. Building one that consistently works is where the real challenge begins.

Explained in an easy way to understand the concepts , overall course structure is good but excepting more from you like how to integrate AI Agent with Microsoft Teams , How to Publish and how to use in real time , Thanks for great lectures to understand complete overview of how to use Microsoft Copilot Studio.
By Rada Sokić on 8/15/2026
The course is excellent, very nicely and understandably explained for us from the non-IT sector. It's not just about clicking around in Copilot Studio, but it's explained in a way that you understand the logic, you know why you are doing something. I would also add that the humor the instructor incorporates is good and dosed in just the right amount.

He makes something that seems daunting and complicated and turns it into a much simpler process to understand and use. Just with this course alone I am confident enough to start building a chatbot for our company to use that will be beneficial.

This course is really helpful for the beginner. I am cutting down one point as this course is for citizen developer and i am looking for complete course specially related to Power BI developer. Nevertheless I have done few courses previously by Alireza, his teaching style is absolutely commendable. Thank You

This course was very clear and easy to follow, and I learned a lot from it. Thank you for providing such valuable content. I also watch your YouTube videos regularly with Japanese translation, and they are always very helpful. I would really appreciate it if Japanese subtitles could be added to your Udemy courses in the future.

Very crisp and clear road map and also very lightweight for the Citizen Developers. Fantastic course Ali, thanks a lot for that. I wish to have one more gem for the professional developers so we can deep dive on the technical topics like licensing, usage analytics, premium feature usage etc. Thanks a lot once again!

I find it hard to give a perfect score; however, this is an excellent class. One I will be revisiting after I correct some of my initial mistakes when I was simply trying to work with copilot on my own.

A short course to understand fundamental of Copilot Studio and its elements. I don't have access to the current Copilot Studio but this course reinforce what I learned from Microsoft free online courses on this topic. The step-by-step walkthrough for each component is appreciated. This is a great course considering continuous interface and feature updates Microsoft keep doing, especially on a new, non-stable released one like Copilot Studio.

The instructor is very good, knowledgeable with the technology, but many covered topics are outdated and need updates

Ali has covered all the basic concepts of copilot studio. It was really fascinating to see and/or know that anyone can create a chat bot or Gen AI. Of Course, Knowledge Base or Source is really important and needs to be evolved continuously. All of my expectations are met in the course. In fact, I have recognized some use cases from the course.
