Reviewer's verdict

This is a Power Automate path with a brief mention of AI, not an AI course. It shows you which buttons to press in the UI but doesn't build any real skills.

Decision summary

Best for

Functional consultants already using Power Platform who need to see the AI Builder buttons.

Watch for

The title's 'AI' promise is thin; it's mostly a Power Automate UI tour.

Who it's for

Functional consultants already using Power Platform who need to see the AI Builder buttons.

Who should skip it

Absolute beginners or anyone trying to learn core AI concepts.

Pros

Introduces where the new AI Builder prompts live inside Power Automate.
Good overview of Dataverse triggers and approval flows.
Short and can be completed in an afternoon.

Cons

The title's 'AI' promise is thin; it's mostly a Power Automate UI tour.
No real coding or complex problem-solving.
The AI Builder prompt section feels tacked on and doesn't go deep.
No sandboxed environment for trying things without a real subscription.

The AI Builder prompt module is just a single unit at the very end. The rest of the three hours is a standard Power Automate intro: triggers, Dataverse connections, approvals. Feels like they just bolted on the 'AI' part to make an old path look fresh. There's no sandbox, so unless you already have a paid Power Platform environment to play in, you're just reading and looking at screenshots.

I was hoping this would show how to build something intelligent from scratch. Instead, it’s about using a pre-built prompt feature inside a specific Microsoft product. The content isn't wrong, it’s just mislabeled. If I had known it was 90% a tour of standard Power Automate features, I would have just read the documentation for the AI Builder part directly and saved a couple of hours. It shows you the what, not the how.
