Create Custom Copilots with Azure AI Studio 

Duration: 1 Day / 8 hrs

Introduction 

This one-day, hands-on workshop helps participants build custom copilots using Azure AI Studio, focusing on prompt flow, RAG-based solutions, and responsible GenAI practices. The course is designed to move quickly from platform basics to a working, data-grounded copilot. 

Objectives 

By the end of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Understand when and how to use Azure AI Studio 
  • Build LLM applications using prompt flow 
  • Create RAG-based copilots using their own data 
  • Apply responsible GenAI principles using built-in Azure AI safeguards 

Key Takeaways 

Participants will leave with: 

  • A working custom copilot built with Azure AI Studio 
  • Practical experience with prompt flow and RAG patterns 
  • Clarity on deploying safe, responsible GenAI solutions 

Training Methodology (Learning by Doing) 

  • Hands-on from minute one with guided labs 
  • Build-as-you-go approach using prompt flow 
  • Realistic data grounding instead of toy examples 
  • Live validation and iteration using monitoring and filters
