All About AI Foundry Agents

In a recent episode of "Made for Dev" with Stephen Simon, I get into the world of AI Agents in Microsoft Foundry.

I explain why agents are the "new microservices" and demonstrate how to build, configure, and orchestrate them using natural language.

What you’ll learn in this video:

• What is an AI Agent? Understand the shift from LLMs that just answer questions to agents that execute business tasks [01:30].

• The "Physician" Analogy: Why an LLM is like a doctor who knows the theory but needs "tools" to actually take your blood pressure [02:05].

• Step-by-Step Demo: Watch Sam build a weather-forecasting agent from scratch in Azure AI Foundry, including tool integration via Logic Apps [04:54].

• Evaluation & Quality: How to interpret "Task Adherence" and "Intent Resolution" scores to ensure your agent is performing accurately [10:34].

• Advanced Orchestration: An overview of patterns like Hierarchical and Network orchestration for connecting multiple agents [16:55].

Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting with Generative AI, this session provides a practical roadmap for moving beyond simple chatbots.
