Hands-On Workshop: Build AI Agents with Microsoft Foundry Toolkit in VS Code
AI is rapidly evolving from simple chat interfaces to intelligent, multi-agent systems—and developers need the right tools to build them efficiently.
In this hands-on workshop, you will explore the Microsoft Foundry Toolkit for VS Code (now Generally Available) and learn how to build, test, and deploy AI agents directly from your development environment.
This session is designed to be practical and interactive. You will not just watch—you will build along, create your own AI-powered workflows, and understand how to leverage model catalogs, prompt playgrounds, and multi-agent orchestration within VS Code.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have the confidence to start building real-world AI applications and agent-based systems.
