AgentCamp Amsterdam 2026
Details
🙋♀️ Join us for the AgentCamp 2026 is the global initiative where AI enthusiasts and developers come together to learn, share, and grow their AI knowledge!
Workshop 1 - Build a Pizza Ordering Agent with Microsoft Foundry and MCP
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.
Duration: 90 Minutes
Workshop 2 - Semantic Search & Multi-Agent AI with DocumentDB
Go from zero to AI-powered search! Learn vector embeddings, build a RAG chatbot, and create multi-agent workflows using DocumentDB, OpenAI, and LangGraph in this hands-on workshop
Duration: 90 Minutes
Workshop 3 - The AI Podcast Studio Workshop
Welcome to The AI Podcast Studio! You're about to launch your own tech podcast called "Future Bytes" — but here's the twist: you'll build an AI-powered production team to help you create it. No more endless hours of research, scriptwriting, and audio editing. Instead, you'll code your way to becoming a podcast producer with AI superpowers.
By the end of this workshop, you'll know how to:
🤖 Deploy your own local AI model (no API costs, no cloud dependency!)
🔧 Build specialized AI agents that actually work together
🎬 Create a complete podcast production pipeline from idea to audio
Duration: 90 Minutes
