Reviewer's verdict

It's a product demo disguised as a challenge. Use it to kill 20 minutes and see what Copilot's UI looks like, but don't expect it to teach you how to think about a business idea.

Who it's for

Who should skip it

Anyone who has used a chat model more than twice or needs actual business strategy.

Pros

  • Extremely short and easy to complete.
  • Provides a structured, if basic, framework for using AI in ideation.
  • Introduces the concept of refining prompts.

Cons

  • The 'challenge' is just following instructions.
  • Offers no insights beyond what you'd get from experimenting on your own for 10 minutes.
  • Business advice is generic and prompt-driven, not strategic.

The whole 'challenge' is just copying and pasting pre-written prompts into Copilot. My team has been playing with these tools for months, so I was hoping for a mental model—a Microsoft-approved framework for how a PM should structure ideation with AI. Instead, I got a to-do list.

It feels like it was designed for someone who has never opened a chat window. The prompts are things like 'Give me five startup ideas for X.' There's no real strategy, no discussion of how to validate the AI's output or integrate it into a real discovery process. The 'refinement' step is just asking the AI to refine its own previous output. I finished it during a coffee break and my main takeaway was that I had, in fact, used Microsoft Copilot. It's not a course on ideation; it's a quick-start guide for a feature.
