Modules in this learning path
AI agents represent the next generation of intelligent applications. Learn how they can be developed and used on Microsoft Azure.
This module provides engineers with the skills to begin building agents with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service.
Learn how to build, test, and deploy AI agents using the Microsoft Foundry extension in Visual Studio Code.
Built-in tools are useful, but they may not meet all your needs. In this module, learn how to extend the capabilities of your agent by integrating custom tools for your agent to use.
Break down complex tasks with intelligent collaboration. Learn how to design multi-agent solutions using connected agents.
Enable dynamic tool access for your Azure AI agents. Learn how to connect MCP-hosted tools and integrate them seamlessly into agent workflows.
This module provides engineers with the skills to begin building Microsoft Foundry Agent Service agents with Microsoft Agent Framework.
Learn how to use the Microsoft Agent Framework SDK to develop your own AI agents that can collaborate for a multi-agent solution.
Learn how to implement the A2A protocol to enable agent discovery, direct communication, and coordinated task execution across remote agents.
Workflows enable you to orchestrate AI agents and other components to create intelligent applications. Learn how to build and manage workflows using Microsoft Foundry.
Learn how to connect AI agents with enterprise knowledge using Foundry IQ. You'll explore how Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solves the knowledge problem for AI agents, discover how Foundry IQ provides a shared knowledge platform that multiple agents can access, improve retrieval quality through data optimization, and configure agent instructions for consistent, cited responses.
