Python + Agents: Building your first agent in Python
24 February, 2026 | 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time
- Format:
Livestream
Topic: Agents
Language: English
In the first session of our Python + Agents series, we’ll kick things off with the fundamentals: what AI agents are, how they work, and how to build your first one using the Microsoft Agent Framework.
We’ll start with the core anatomy of an agent, then walk through how tool calling works in practice—beginning with a single tool, expanding to multiple tools, and finally connecting to tools exposed through local MCP servers.
We’ll conclude with the supervisor agent pattern, where a single supervisor agent coordinates subtasks across multiple subagents, by treating each agent as a tool.
Along the way, we'll share tips for debugging and inspecting agents, like using the DevUI interface from Microsoft Agent Framework for interacting with agent prototypes.
Prerequisites
To follow along with the live examples, sign up for a free GitHub account. If you are brand new to generative AI with Python, start with our our 9-part Python + AI series, which covers LLMs, embedding models, RAG, tool calling, MCP, and more.
