Streamline your code-first development with prebuilt, task-specific Azure AI templates. These ready-to-use, customizable templates help you skip setup, reduce friction, and deliver value faster with trusted, scalable infrastructure. Built on insights from over 2,000 customer engagements, AI solution templates significantly reduce time from concept to production at scale.
AI solution templates include customizable code samples, pre-integrated Azure services, and GitHub-hosted quick-start guides. Development teams can focus on outcomes instead of setup, building solutions for popular use cases like live voice agents, release management, and data unification.
These templates harness the power of multi-agent, agentic AI, enabling you to automate workflows, optimize operations, reduce costs, and make faster, data-driven decisions.
Important
Starter templates, manifests, code samples, and other resources made available by Microsoft or its partners (“samples”) are designed to assist in accelerating development of agents and AI solutions for specific scenarios. Review all provided resources and carefully test output behavior in the context of your use case. AI responses may be inaccurate and AI actions should be monitored with human oversight. Learn more in the transparency documents for Agent Service and Agent Framework.
Agents and AI solutions you create may be subject to legal and regulatory requirements, may require licenses, or may not be suitable for all industries, scenarios, or use cases. By using any sample, you are acknowledging that Agents, AI solutions, or other output created using those samples are solely your responsibility, and that you will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and relevant safety standards, terms of service, and codes of conduct.”

Explore the sample application
Once you're looking at the GitHub repository for your sample, refer to the README for more instructions and information on how to deploy your own version of the application.
Instructions vary by sample, but most include how to:
- Open the solution in the location of your choice:
- GitHub Codespaces
- VS Code Dev Containers
- Your local IDE
- Deploy the application to Azure
- Test the application
The README also includes information about the application, such as the use case, architecture, and pricing information.
Deploy templates quickly
With quick-deploy options, you can launch any Foundry template in minutes. These architectures and implementations are customizable while staying Well-Architected Framework (WAF) aligned using Azure Verified Modules. Use tools such as PSRule and TFlint to test that your modified implementation is production-ready.
