How to think about this

This is not "just prompts."

It's a Power Platform Thinking System — the way senior developers approach problems before they touch the builder.

The foundation that makes these prompts actually reliable

AI Module (Week 10)

"Multiply your output 10x"

AI Builder, Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI — for when prompts aren't enough

The honest truth: these prompts get you output fast. But if you don't understand delegation, Dataverse schema design, or flow error handling — you won't know when the output is wrong. The 12-week course teaches you the foundations so you can direct Claude with intent, not hope.
