Audience

This course is ideal for any learner who wants to learn the basics of how to extend their Microsoft Copilot 365 functionality.

Module 1: Fundamentals of Generative AI

In this module, you explore how language models enable AI applications and services to generate original content based on natural language input. You also learn how generative AI enables the creation of agents that can assist humans in creative tasks.

Module 2: Get started with Microsoft Copilot Studio

Microsoft Copilot Studio allows organizations to quickly create agents based on business scenarios their customers and employees can easily interact with as needed. In this module, you're introduced to key concepts for agents.

Module 3: Introduction to Azure AI Foundry

Microsoft Azure offers multiple services that enable developers to build amazing AI-powered solutions. Azure AI Foundry brings these services together in a single unified experience for AI development on the Azure cloud platform.

Module 4: Build a RAG-based agent with your data using Azure AI Foundry

Agents can work alongside you to provide suggestions, generate content, or help you make decisions. Agents use language models as a form of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and will answer your questions using the data they were trained on. To ensure an agent retrieves information from a specific source, you can add your data when building an agent with the Azure AI Foundry.
