Assumes you're already bought into the Microsoft ecosystem.
The first module is just planning on paper. My instinct was to skip it, but don't. It forces you to think through the user's goal *before* you touch any tech, which is the whole job. Building the actual agent felt a lot like setting up a fancy IVR system for a call center, just with a better interface. You define triggers ('user says X'), create topics ('handle Y'), and guide the conversation. I got a simple 'store hours' bot working in about an hour.
The real friction came when connecting it to anything outside the box. The lesson on Power Automate made it clear that to do anything truly useful—like looking up a real order—you're going to need help from someone who understands APIs and data sources. So it's not a silver bullet, but it gave me the vocabulary to have a much smarter conversation with our engineering team.
