In this hands-on workshop, explore the transition from traditional AI models to goal-driven AI solutions using Azure AI Foundry and advanced agent frameworks. Learn to set up development environments, configure connections, and authenticate credentials before diving into chat completions, embeddings, and retrieval techniques to enhance AI applications. Build specialized AI agents for health and fitness that leverage search, reasoning, and real-time data, while also covering observability, governance, and model evaluation to ensure reliability and transparency. The workshop concludes with integrating event-driven AI platforms, demonstrating how AI agents respond to real-world triggers and automate workflows. Participants will leave with a solid foundation to build, deploy, and optimize intelligent, scalable AI-driven applications.
