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.

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.
