The same goal — a conference session-tracking list — built three ways. The easiest way is one prompt to SharePoint's new Agentic Builder, which scaffolds a site, a list, suggested columns, and suggested views in one shot.
Meta takeaways
Tool
Agentic Builder is the new SharePoint entry point for "describe a site, get a site."
Input
A few sentences of plain English. Names columns, lists what views you want.
Output
Site, landing page, list, columns, suggested views — all scaffolded in one pass.
The Agentic Builder is the new front door
SharePoint now has an Agentic Builder — a prompt-first tool that takes a description of a site you want and scaffolds it. Not just an empty page: a full site shell with a landing page and any lists you describe.
The Agentic Builder is upstream of any styling work. It creates the site itself from a paragraph of intent.
This is different from the styling skills you saw in earlier videos. Those skills decorate existing lists. The Agentic Builder creates the lists from nothing.
The Agentic Builder isn't a wizard with predefined templates. It reads your description and decides what columns, choices, and views are appropriate for that domain.
One prompt, one site
The demo prompt: generate a site for running Zac Con 2026. We need a landing page and a list for submitting session ideas that we'll review and approve. Sessions need a title, speakers, description, 100–400 level assignments, conference track, status, and a link to the deck.
The prompt names the domain (conference), the artefacts (landing page, list), and the schema (columns). The builder fills in the rest.
The result, before any human edits, is a working site with the list, the columns the prompt named, and a few extra columns the builder added because they fit the domain.
Suggested views come back for free
Along with the scaffold, the builder proposes views the user didn't explicitly ask for — like "Approved Sessions" and "Pending Review." These are inferred from the status column the prompt named.
The builder uses the columns you describe to guess views that make the list useful day one. Status columns become filter views.
The author treats these suggestions as a starting point, not the final answer. The point isn't that the views are perfect — it's that they're there before anyone asked for them.
Suggested views aren't pinned defaults. You can throw them out and create your own — the builder just spares you from starting blank.
Three tiers, same end goal
The video runs the same scenario — a conference session list — three ways: easy (Agentic Builder, one prompt), moderate (manual prompting with voice control), and advanced (a self-iterating loop the author calls Ralph). Each tier trades less control for more automation.
The same goal lives on a spectrum of automation. The easy tier gets you 80% in a single prompt. The advanced tier hands the whole job to an agent loop.
This guide covers the easy tier. The next guide is the moderate tier — voice-driven manual prompting. Guide 03 covers the advanced Ralph Loop.
The advanced tier isn't strictly better. It's slower, less controllable in the moment, and worth using only when you want to hand off the full job, not when you want a fast scaffold.
