Build AI Agents with GitHub Copilot (training)

Colleagues, the “Build AI Agents with GitHub Copilot” program is designed to help developers harness the power of GitHub Copilot to build AI agents more efficiently and effectively. By combining foundational knowledge of AI agents with hands-on practice, the course takes a practical, project-based approach--guiding learners from understanding core concepts and setting up their environment to building, testing, and refining real AI agents with Copilot's assistance. Along the way, participants will explore best practices, compare Copilot with other tools, and reflect on responsible AI development, ensuring they leave with both the technical skills and strategic insight to accelerate their productivity with AI-assisted coding. In this Beginner to Intermediate level course you will grasp the fundamentals of AI agents and their components, configure GitHub Copilot for your development environment, write, test, and refine AI agent code with Copilot's assistance, build a complete working AI agent step by step, extend AI agents with external APIs and libraries, use Copilot to generate, refactor, and improve code quality, compare Copilot with other AI coding tools for a broader perspective, and apply ethical and responsible practices in AI-assisted development. Skill-based training modules include: 1) Understand AI Agents and GitHub Copilot - Understand what an AI agent is, Explore key components of code-based AI agents, Recognize the role of GitHub Copilot in AI agent development, Compare GitHub Copilot with other AI coding tools, Identify use cases for AI agents with Copilot, 2) Set Up Your Development Environment - Install GitHub Copilot, Configure Copilot settings and preferences, Use advanced configurations, Set up an AI agent project, Write and run, 3) Build and Extend AI Agents with Copilot - Implement a simple rule-based agent, Make and execute decisions, Control agent behavior with generative AI, Create effective AI agent prompts, Integrate multiple components, and 4) Apply Best Practices and Next Steps - Make AI agent code reusable, Using structured outputs, and Learn best practices for creating safe agents.
