Unlock the power of AI by constructing an AI agent from the ground up using T-SQL, without altering your existing applications. This hands-on session will guide you through the entire process of building an AI agent from scratch, providing you with a deep understanding of how AI agents function. Additionally, we’ll explore alternative approaches for greenfield applications by implementing the same solution using Semantic Kernel and .NET. By the end of this session, you will possess a comprehensive grasp of AI agents and practical skills to enhance your data with advanced AI capabilities efficiently.

This session explores patterns for modern RAG applications to bring together diverse data sources such as Blob Storage, SQL, Cosmos DB, and PostgreSQL. We will work through three primary patterns: indexing all data to conform to same schema (with Azure AI Search), consolidating into a single store (with Fabric), and finally, using multi-agent orchestrations. Follow along: Create agentic AI solutions by using Azure AI Foundry

The AI landscape is shifting from passive copilots to fully autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex tasks independently. This transformation unlocks new possibilities—but also introduces security, governance, and ethical challenges that demand new architectural thinking. This session will dive deep into the design and operational concerns of autonomous AI agents, exploring how they can be built to act responsibly, self-improve, and remain controllable. We'll walk through multi-agent architectures and self-correcting mechanisms.

Following chat bots, voice agents/bots have become the latest craze. Imagine the convenience of conversing with an AI agent that interacts like a human and efficiently assists you in placing orders or resolving queries. In this session, we will guide you through the process of creating a voice agent using the latest GPT-4o Realtime API for speech and Azure Communication Services.
