Employ Copilot Chat as your AI assistant: Review

The 'Write Effective Prompts' section boiled down to a few pages telling you to be specific and provide context. There's no sandbox, no lab, no chance to actually try writing a prompt and see what happens. The entire module is just a series of screenshots with descriptions underneath. I kept waiting for the part where you actually *do* something, but it never came. One of the knowledge check questions was literally about what the 'new chat' button does.

I get that this is an introductory module, but it feels more like an extended marketing page or an appendix from a user manual. It defines what Copilot Chat is and what an 'agent' is, but the advice is so generic it could apply to any chatbot. They show examples of prompts like summarizing a document or planning a trip, but you just have to take their word for it that it works. You never get to feel the difference between a bad prompt and a good one.

I was hoping for at least some tips on how to chain prompts or use it for simple coding tasks, but it's all high-level business use-cases. It's hard to imagine who this helps besides someone whose boss just bought them a license and they have no idea what the button does. If you've used ChatGPT even once, you can probably skip this. The entire 'learning path' this is part of seems to be just more of the same.
