Autonomous Agents with Azure AI Foundry

Everyone's talking about autonomous agents — far fewer have actually built one on enterprise-grade tooling. In this intro, we show what Azure AI Foundry makes possible and how to take your first real step from idea to working agent.
What We'll Cover:

• What "autonomous" really means — and where agents help vs. where they don't
• A tour of Azure AI Foundry for building, grounding, and deploying agents
• Designing an agent with tools, memory, and guardrails
• A live look at an agent handling a real task end-to-end
• How this connects to our deeper hands-on Agentic Development workshop

Who Should Attend: Developers, architects, and tech leads curious about building agents on the Microsoft AI stack.
