AB-100: turn architecture study into evidence.
Free AB-100 resources for the Microsoft Certified: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect Expert journey: a study roadmap, a decision-record worksheet, and a skills self-assessment checklist.
Start with the official objectives. Explain a decision, practice it in a bounded scenario, then check what still needs verification.
AB-100 video lessons
Watch published episodes on YouTube, then use the resources below to put each lesson into practice.
The series is in production.
No AB-100 episodes are published here yet. Links to the videos will appear in this section once they are published on YouTube. The study downloads are available now.

Skills self-assessment checklist
Track Explain, Practice, and Refresh independently across ten skill areas, with evidence and a next-review date.
Open checklistOriginal WebLizard Labs study aids; not an official Microsoft checklist, not endorsed by Microsoft, and not a predictor of your exam score. No exam dumps or copied exam questions. The checklist fulfills the orientation's downloadable-checklist study loop. It groups skill areas; always revisit the complete objective bullets in the official guide.
HTML entries are not saved or submitted. Print before closing, or use the editable files. PDFs contain selectable text; accessible HTML equivalents are provided. For long worksheet answers, use Markdown to avoid clipped form fields when printing.
The target blueprint has three domains.
Summary and detailed headings agree in the source check. Weight ranges describe exam coverage, not exact question counts or a personal study-time formula.
Use the same routine for every decision.
The roadmap is a repeatable sequence, not a fixed-duration course.
Confirm your version and starting point
Record your intended exam date and language. Read the official audience profile and current credential requirements. Compare the effective-date heading with your appointment. Use the checklist to distinguish what you can explain, what needs practice, and what needs a documentation refresh.
Leave with: Exam date and language; selected objective version; first checklist pass.
Plan around a business outcome
Choose a small scenario, such as routing a service request to the right team. Define success, data boundaries, and a non-AI baseline before selecting a platform. Compare building, buying, and extending. State ROI assumptions rather than promising savings.
Leave with: A requirement, measurable acceptance criteria, constraints, and a short option comparison.
Design a bounded solution
Identify the agent role, grounding sources, allowed actions, caller identity, and approval points. Compare candidate platform capabilities against the same requirement. Trace one happy path and one denied or failed action. Record facts that still require current product documentation or a lab.
Leave with: A simple architecture sketch and a decision record with a credible alternative.
Make deployment and operation testable
Define quality and safety test cases, telemetry, ownership, release gates, and rollback. Review least privilege, data residency, auditability, and prompt-manipulation risks. Practice with non-sensitive data in an authorized sandbox; check access and cost before provisioning.
Leave with: A test matrix, monitoring plan, and change/rollback note.
Return to evidence, then repeat
Work through the official learning path to address the gaps you found. Revisit the complete objective bullets in the study guide, not only the ten grouped areas here. Update Explain, Practice, and Refresh separately. Reopen decisions when product documentation, constraints, or the objective version changes.
Leave with: Evidence links, an honest remaining-gap list, and a next-review date.
Go back to Microsoft for scope and requirements.
Keep these official sources beside your notes.
- Official AB-100 study guide
Exam scope, domain weights, effective date, and change log.

Credential requirements, prerequisites, exam scheduling, and availability. Passing an exam and earning a credential are distinct; check all requirements here.

Microsoft Learn advanced learning path. Use alongside the target guide; one path does not guarantee complete objective coverage.
The October 14 guide retains the domain weights in the archived July 22 version and labels changes in three skill areas as minor. Do not assume that makes every old resource equivalent. Verify the current guide again near your exam date.
Before you start
Which AB-100 objective version do these resources target?
These resources target the English AB-100 objectives effective October 14, 2026. This is an incoming version at the September 27, 2026 source review. If you test before October 14, use the objectives that apply on your exam date. Localized exams can update later; confirm your language and exam date with Microsoft.
Is this the official Microsoft study guide?
No. These are original WebLizard Labs study aids. The Microsoft Learn study guide defines exam scope; use the official links below and verify your exam date and language.
Does completing the checklist mean I am ready to pass?
No. It records your own evidence and gaps, not a predicted score. The ten grouped skill areas do not replace the complete objective bullets or hands-on experience.
Do I need an account, and are worksheet entries saved?
No account is required. Download a local copy. The HTML worksheet and checklist do not save or submit entries; print before closing. Use editable Markdown for long notes and the CSV for ongoing tracking.
This page provides study aids, not an AB-100 question bank or a complete published video course.
