Ready to build AI that actually does things? In this hands-on session, Aaron Stark walks you through creating your first AI agent using Microsoft Foundry—Microsoft’s unified platform for building, deploying, and managing AI applications.
You’ll learn how to move beyond simple chat completions to agents that can reason, plan, and take action. We’ll cover the core concepts of agentic AI, explore Microsoft Foundry’s agent capabilities, and build a working agent live—from prompt engineering to tool integration to deployment.

What you’ll learn:
- What makes an AI agent different from a chatbot
