Introduction to agentic AI business solutions: Review

It's a bit odd that this is labeled 'Advanced' and for 'Solution Architects.' The whole thing reads like a PowerPoint for a sales kickoff. I went in hoping for some discussion of design patterns, maybe a simplified architecture diagram showing how these Microsoft agents actually talk to each other or to external data sources. Instead, it’s just a list of products. 'Use Microsoft 365 Copilot for this, use Power Platform for that, and here’s Copilot Studio for custom stuff.' It felt like I was studying for a vocabulary test on brand names, not learning architecture.

The 'Knowledge Check' at the end confirmed it. It just asks you to match product names to their functions. There's no 'how' or 'why.' Not a single line of code, not one configuration setting, not even a hypothetical business problem with a worked-through solution. It's just a catalog. I get that these short modules are often introductory, but calling this one 'advanced' feels dishonest. The actual substance must be in the other modules in this learning path, like the 2.5-hour one on designing agents. This first module is just the table of contents.
