Practice Transforming Business Processes with AI Agents Through High-Fidelity Simulation

The MS-4019 Helix Software-Defined Lab gives learners an interactive way to practice using AI-powered agents to streamline everyday business processes and improve productivity directly in their browser.

Learners complete realistic, carefully designed exercises covering agent creation, customization, task automation, knowledge sources, conversational interactions, and business process optimization. High-fidelity screens, interactive hotspots, and responsive interface elements closely recreate key experiences within Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot Studio.

There is no virtual machine to launch and no Microsoft 365 Copilot license, live environment, or temporary credentials to manage. The lab opens quickly in the browser, allowing learners to focus on practicing the targeted skills.

What Learners Can Practice

Depending on the exercises included in the course, learners may practice workflows related to:

• Identifying everyday business processes that can benefit from AI-powered agents
• Creating and configuring agents to support common business tasks
• Customizing agent instructions and behavior for specific business needs
• Adding and managing knowledge sources to improve agent responses
• Using agents to streamline information retrieval and repetitive tasks
• Exploring agent capabilities for business process automation
• Configuring conversational experiences and interactions
• Using Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio to support business workflows
• Testing and refining agent responses for accuracy and relevance
• Exploring ways to share and use agents across teams
• Navigating Microsoft Copilot Studio and following common agent creation workflows

Software-Defined Labs and Live Labs

Helix supports different types of hands-on learning for different objectives.

Helix Software-Defined Labs provide focused, high-fidelity simulations for guided practice, repeatable exercises, and targeted skill development.

Helix Live Labs connect learners to real technology environments and support open-ended exploration, configuration, experimentation, and troubleshooting.

The two experiences are complementary. This product is a Software-Defined Lab delivered through simulation and does not provide access to a live Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft Copilot Studio environment.
