Develop AI agents on Azure
Course Description
Overview
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more functional and accessible, and AI agents are a key component of this evolution. This learning path will help you understand the AI agents, including when to use them and how to build them, using Microsoft Foundry Agent Service and Microsoft Agent Framework. By the end of this learning path, you will have the skills needed to develop AI agents on Azure.Objectives
