Why grab this micro-credential?

  • Hands-on, half-day lab — prove you can build, publish & govern generative-AI agents end-to-end.
  • Instant rĂ©sumĂ© boost — digital badge drops into Credly the moment you pass.
  • Perfect add-on to PL-300/PL-400/PL-700 prep or any Power Platform course you teach.

Lab tasks you’ll master

  • Design the agent persona & generative AI instructions
  • Build topics, variables & rich dialogues (Adaptive Cards included!)
  • Call Dataverse data with Power Automate flows
  • Publish to Microsoft Teams & the web, then secure with content moderation

Prep in three steps

  • Run the free learning path: Create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio (9 bite-size modules).
  • Skim the official study guide checklist (APL-7008).
  • Spin up a trial tenant for learners and let them practice before the live lab.

    This Applied Skill will be retired on June 30 and its assessment is undergoing maintenance: any plan for it to be available again before its retirement?

    Is APL-7008 still valid with the new orchestration? I wanted to confirm before starting the labs.
