Learn how to build an advanced AI agent using Azure Database for PostgreSQL and the new Microsoft Agent Framework. This hands-on lab walks you through integrating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic re-ranking, Semantic Operators, and GraphRAG (using Apache AGE) to enable intelligent legal question-answering using real case data. Gain practical AI implementation skills with your own PostgreSQL-backed applications.

Join Microsoft’s product team for a hands-on lab where you'll design and deploy an AI-powered application using SQL Database in Microsoft Fabric. This session dives into HTAP capabilities, enabling seamless transactional and analytical processing. You'll provision a SaaS-native SQL Database, use Copilot to generate schema and queries, and implement advanced patterns like RAG with vector search. Walk away with practical skills and a working solution you can apply immediately.

Build AI apps that run securely and scale with your needs with Azure SQL Database Hyperscale. We’ll cover native vector indexes for semantic search, read scale out for low latency RAG, and secure model invocation with Microsoft Foundry, using the model of your choice, from T SQL. Hear directly from global technology company Hexagon and investment firm BlackRock who will join us to share their experience along with best practices, demos and more!

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.

AI is reshaping NetOps from scripted automation to intelligent, data driven workflows. We will show uses: incident triage, knowledge retrieval, traffic analysis, prediction, and contrast legacy monitoring with ML, NLP, and LLMs. See how RAG, text to SQL, and agent workflows enable real time insights across hybrid data. We will outline data pipelines and MLOps, address accuracy, reliability, cost, compliance, and weigh build vs buy. We will cover API integration and human in the loop guardrails.
