AI technologies are disrupting how we solve problems. For many companies including ours, we need to learn how to weave AI solutions into our problem space in a seamless way. This is the classic product development principle: first identifying a problem statement then using appropriate technologies to address the challenges. Without discipline, the AI hype often pushes us to do the opposite, forcefully embedding AI into a problem.

This lab provides a comprehensive overview of building, deploying, and securing AI agents. We will start by creating a single agent with Azure Functions and Foundry Agent Service in Microsoft Foundry, then enhance it with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and add data grounding with Azure Cosmos DB. You will also combine the single agents to form a multi-agent system. You will then deploy, manage and secure the application on a Flex Consumption plan.

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