4:00 a. m. - 5:00 a. m. (UTC)

AI agents are moving fast, but building one that delivers real value requires more than just prompts. In this session, you’ll get a hands‑on introduction to the Microsoft Agent Framework, focusing on how to design and build practical AI agents that can reason, take actions, and integrate with real systems. You’ll explore how agentic AI fits into modern application architectures and how developers can move from experimentation to production‑ready agents. You Will Learn Core concepts behind agentic AI and intelligent agents How the Microsoft Agent Framework is structured and applied How to build agents that interact with tools, APIs, and workflows Best practices for creating practical, extensible AI agents Technologies Used GitHub Copilot GitHub Actions Agentic AI patterns GitHub‑based CI/CD pipelines Who Should Attend Developers getting started with agentic AI Engineers building AI‑powered applications or services Architects exploring production‑ready agent frameworks Anyone who wants to move beyond AI demos to real implementations

DevOps automation shouldn’t stop at scripts and static rules. In this episode, you’ll learn how to apply agentic AI to DevOps workflows, turning specifications into intelligent CI/CD pipelines using SpecKit and GitHub Actions. You’ll see how agentic patterns enable workflows that can reason, adapt, and automate decisions — helping teams move faster with less manual effort. You Will Learn How agentic patterns apply to modern DevOps scenarios How to turn specs into CI/CD workflows using SpecKit How GitHub Actions can support agent‑driven pipelines Ways to improve delivery speed and reliability with intelligent automation Technologies Used SpecKit GitHub Actions Agentic AI patterns GitHub‑based CI/CD pipelines Who Should Attend DevOps engineers and platform engineers Developers working with GitHub‑based CI/CD Teams looking to automate from specs to delivery Anyone interested in smarter, AI‑driven DevOps workflows

GitHub Copilot SDK hands you the reigns to build your own apps and dev tools that integrate the power of GitHub Copilot agentic workflows. We'll take a look at how integrations with everyday dev tools like GitHub, we can create custom developer tooling upgrades that are tailored to your processes, extended by your own code and MCP servers, and go way beyond what Copilot can do out of the box. You Will Learn What’s possible with the GitHub Copilot SDK How to design custom Copilot SDK‑powered apps and developer experiences How to integrate AI into everyday development workflows How to build AI features that meaningfully improve developer productivity Technologies Used GitHub Copilot SDK GitHub Copilot CLI GitHub Copilot VS Code Large Language Models (LLMs) Developer workflow integrations GitHub MCP server Who Should Attend Developers using GitHub Copilot today DX engineers and developer productivity teams Platform and tooling builders Anyone who wants to customize and extend AI in their daily coding experience
