Foundations of AI in Microsoft Azure - Episode 18: Azure AI Agent Fundamentals and Development Options

Move beyond simple chatbots. This episode explores the future of automation with AI Agents on Azure, defined as intelligent software systems that combine generative AI models with contextual data to autonomously complete tasks. We examine how multi-agent solutions can handle complex workflows. We then detail the development options, ranging from low-code platforms like Microsoft Copilot Studio for business users, to code-first frameworks such as the Azure AI Agent Service, Semantic Kernel, and AutoGen for professional developers. Finally, we break down the Azure AI Agent Service's core: the model (for prompts), knowledge (for grounding), and tools (for action automation). Tune in to understand the platform and frameworks driving the next generation of enterprise automation.https://learnazure4free.com/
