In this hands-on lab, you’ll build a Knowledge Base using agentic RAG, the next evolution of retrieval in Azure AI Search. Connect your agentic retrieval engine to your data through smart source selection across multiple indexes and storage systems. Learn how to enhance planning using natural language guidance and generate grounded responses with citations or extractive answers tailored to your use case. By the end, you’ll have a fully functional Knowledge Base that responds over enterprise data.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to build domain-specific AI agents with Foundry Agent Service. Starting from a simple agent, you’ll add system prompts, custom instructions, and knowledge with RAG. You’ll extend it with tool calling (like a pizza calculator) and connect external services via MCP for live menu and order handling. By the end, you’ll have a working Contoso PizzaBot that can answer questions, recommend pizzas, and manage orders.

Start building your next agent with the latest knowledge features from Azure AI Search. In this session, we will demo how to connect your agentic retrieval engine to new knowledge sources like Sharepoint, web and blob. We will also walk through new controls available to improve your RAG performance, across query planning, retrieval and answer generation. Join this code-focused breakout for samples and step-by-step guidance on connecting knowledge to your next agent.

Delivered in a silent stage breakout.

Learn how to implement agentic RAG in real-world enterprise workflows. Transform you enterprise through:

• Retrieval: How does a RAG agent decide when to search and which sources matter most for your specific question? • Generation: Using large language models, the system generates responses based on the information it has retrieved. • Autonomy: The system makes decisions about when to look for information, what actions to take, and how to handle multi-step tasks.
