Microsoft Introduction to Building AI Agents (MS-4014)

Curious about building AI agents, but not sure where to start? Microsoft’s practical Introduction to Building AI Agents covers how AI agents work, what tools and services Microsoft offers for building them, and how to plan an agent solution before you start building. You'll explore what agents are and the business value they unlock, tour Microsoft's agent platform—including Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, and the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit—and learn how to choose the right development approach, channels, grounding services, integrations, and governance posture for your scenario. After completing this course, you'll be prepared to translate a business problem into a complete agent design and development plan.

At Firebrand, we are one of the few companies in the world to be designated a Microsoft Cloud Partner. Through our Lecture | Lab | Review method, you’ll access official courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.

This course is designed for builders and developers who want to build AI agents on Microsoft's agent platform. It's ideal for learners who are new to agent development or evaluating Microsoft's options, and who want to understand how to choose the right tools, ground and connect agents to their data and systems, and plan an agent solution end to end.

Learners come from both low-code and pro-code backgrounds; no prior agent development experience is required.
