Reviewer's verdict

A skippable marketing brief. It introduces a feature but doesn't teach you how to use it. Your time is better spent on a hands-on tutorial.

Who it's for

Business users curious about the SharePoint agent concept

Who should skip it

Developers or anyone looking for hands-on agent building

Pros

  • Quick, high-level overview of the concept.
  • Explains the governance angle, which is often missed in intros.
  • Completely free to access.

Cons

  • No practical exercises or sandbox.
  • Feels like an extended product slide deck, not a tutorial.
  • The term 'agent' is used very loosely compared to dev-focused courses.

It's all text and diagrams explaining what an 'agent' is within SharePoint and Copilot, who can create them, and the governance controls. This felt less like training and more like reading a blog post announcing a feature. No sandbox, no lab, not even a simulated environment to click through. I was hoping for something to build, even a tiny toy agent, but you don't touch any tools.

I finished in under 20 minutes because I started skimming. The quiz just checks if you remember the marketing points from the previous pages. I get that it's free, but there are other free resources that actually let you build something. This just explains a feature that I suspect requires a specific Microsoft 365 license to even see.
