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.

Please RSVP and arrive at least 5 minutes before the start time, at which point remaining spaces are open to standby attendees.

Did you try out the Session Recap Agent in the community hub? In this talk, we’ll break down how the agent is built, from instructions and models, to tools and function calling. We'll explore how the entire experience comes together using agent framework.
