Innovate with Azure AI Apps and Agents
Overview
The lab guides participants through building task-oriented agents using Microsoft Foundry, covering project setup, model integration, vector stores, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation for grounded reasoning. By integrating Azure AI Search, Bing grounding, and observability through OpenTelemetry and Azure Monitor, participants gain visibility into agent behavior, performance, and reliability. Through practical multi-agent implementations using Semantic Kernel and AutoGen in health and fitness scenarios, attendees learn how to design, orchestrate, and operate scalable, well-governed AI agents suitable for real-world enterprise use.
What participants work through
- Set up Microsoft Foundry workspace, authentication, and SDK
- run chat completions and embeddings
- build RAG pipelines for context grounding
- develop agents using tools (code interpreter, web/Bing grounding, Azure AI Search)
- add observability and evaluation via OpenTelemetry/Azure Monitor
- integrate event-driven triggers
- extend to multi-agent orchestration with Semantic Kernel + Autogen
