-_Build an application with GitHub Copilot agent mode in less than an hour._
+Hey s-s-ansari!
 
-## Welcome
+Mona here. I'm done preparing your exercise. Hope you enjoy! 💚
 
-People love how GitHub Copilot helps them write code faster and with fewer errors.
-But what if GitHub could create a multi-tier application with a presentation, logic, and data layers based on requirements written in natural language?
-In this exercise, we will prompt GitHub Copilot agent mode to create a complete application.
+Remember, it's self-paced so feel free to take a break! ☕️

-
-1. Start up a preconfigured development environment for making a multi-tier application.
-1. Prompt in GitHub Copilot Chat and select the edit tab and select agent mode from the edit/agent drop-down.
-1. In this exercise I primarily used the latest default LLM.
-1. Try other LLM models to see other output.

-
-When copying the exercise, we recommend the following settings:
-
-- For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
-
-- We recommend creating a public repository, since private repositories will use Actions minutes.
-
-If the exercise isn't ready in 20 seconds, please check the "Actions" tab of your repository (or visit `https://github.com/<YOUR-USERNAME>/<YOUR-REPO>/actions`).
-
-- Check to see if a job is running. Sometimes it simply takes a bit longer.
-
-- If the page shows a failed job, please submit an issue. Nice, you found a bug! 🐛
