Host your agents on Foundry: Microsoft Agent Framework

In this three-part series, we're showing you how to host your own agents on Microsoft Foundry.

In our first session, we'll deploy agents built with Microsoft Agent Framework (the successor of Autogen and Semantic Kernel).

Starting with a simple agent, we'll add Foundry tools like Code Interpreter, ground the agent in enterprise data with Foundry IQ, and finally deploy multi-agent workflows.

Along the way, we'll use the Foundry UI to interact with the hosted agent, testing it out in the playground and observing the traces from the reasoning and tool calls.

All code samples will be open-source and ready for easy deployment to your own Microsoft Foundry using the Azure Developer CLI.

After the stream, join office hours in the Microsoft Foundry Discord to ask follow-up questions.
