Reviewer's verdict

It’s a 30-minute product tour disguised as a course. Watch it to understand Microsoft's marketing pitch, but don't expect to learn any transferable skills.

Who it's for

Absolute beginners needing a quick, guided tour of what Microsoft Copilot is supposed to do.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking for hands-on practice, prompt engineering skills, or a comparison with other AI assistants.

Pros

  • Quick overview of intended use cases.
  • Clear, simple language.
  • Requires zero setup or prior knowledge.

Cons

  • No actual chatbot to interact with.
  • Exercises are just reading prompts, not writing them.
  • Feels like an extended product brochure, not a training module.

Five sample prompts to read. That’s it. That’s the entire “Exercise: Use Copilot with web prompts” unit. You don't write anything. You don't even get a simulated chat window to paste them into. It's just a block of text showing what a hypothetical person might ask Copilot, followed by a knowledge check that asks you to recall what you just read. There's nothing to actually *do* here.

The entire module is a guided tour of screenshots and bullet points describing features. It feels less like a lesson and more like the user manual you'd get with a new appliance. I get that it's a basic-level intro, but I finished in about 20 minutes feeling like I'd just watched a long, unskippable ad. If you've ever used any other AI chat tool, even once, you can probably skip this.
