AI Genius | Measure & Benchmark: Azure AI Foundry, Continuous Evaluation and IQ
Details
Measure, benchmark, and continuously improve Microsoft Foundry AI Agents using Microsoft IQ, Evaluations, and the Agent optimiser.
Session Introduction
Building an AI agent is just the beginning. Getting it right up front means giving it excellent context - but once it's live, keeping it good is a job of its own: evaluations to monitor quality, optimisation to keep cost in check, and reliable ways to tell whether any change actually helps
In this session, you'll learn how to measure, benchmark, and continuously improve AI workflow quality using Microsoft Foundry, Evaluations, and the Agent Optimizer, and how Microsoft IQ gives your agent excellent context. You'll see how continuous evaluation replaces guesswork with measurable signals across your agent's lifecycle.
