Architect AI solutions for business productivity
Architect AI solutions for business productivity is a free advanced course from Microsoft Learn, online. It takes about 11 hours. Microsoft Learn doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
Before you sign up
Suits solution architects who want a free, self-paced route to the AB-100 exam. Modules cover AI strategy with the Cloud Adoption Framework, return on investment, build-or-buy choices and agent design in Dynamics 365 and Copilot Studio. The main caveat is that Microsoft rates it advanced and assumes you know its business tools and process analysis; the exam is separate. For instructor-led depth, the three-day course Architecting agentic AI business solutions (AB-100T00) builds on this path.
