AI-3018: Copilot Foundations

AI-3018: Copilot Foundations focuses on the core concepts of Generative AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Azure AI Studio. Participants will build and manage AI copilots while learning to integrate Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for custom solutions. The course includes practical labs in Copilot development and project management, enabling learners to create and optimize copilots using their own data.
