AI agent fundamentals with Azure AI Foundry

Microsoft introduces agents through Azure AI Foundry, then develops a hotel-information example and adds AI services. The final section considers a more complete development workflow. It is a platform-specific route for learners who want to connect agent concepts with Azure tools.

What you will learn

• Explain the agent capabilities used in Azure AI Foundry.
• Build an agent for a defined information task.
• Extend the workflow with connected AI services.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners; programming and cloud-computing foundations are recommended.
