The AB-6008 Helix Software-Defined Lab gives learners an interactive way to practice delegating multistep business tasks to Microsoft Copilot Cowork directly in their browser.

Learners complete realistic, carefully designed exercises covering AI-assisted task delegation, email management, meeting follow-up, project tracking, report generation, workflow scheduling, and custom skills. High-fidelity screens, interactive hotspots, and responsive interface elements closely recreate key experiences within Microsoft Copilot Cowork and Microsoft 365.

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

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 or Microsoft Copilot Cowork environment.
