Prepare for the AI-500 exam (Microsoft Certified: Multi-Agent AI Solutions Expert). In this lesson: decomposing goals into workflows, agents, and tools at the lowest level of complexity that works, static and dynamic decomposition, orchestrators and subagents, control loops and their exit conditions, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, personas, scopes, boundaries, and autonomy levels (full-auto, supervised, approval-required), and Microsoft's Guidelines for Human-AI Interaction (HAX) with the responsible AI principles. Includes three original practice questions.
