Agentic AI is rapidly emerging as a powerful paradigm for building intelligent systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously to achieve complex goals. With the new Microsoft Foundry Agent Service, Microsoft is enabling developers to create, deploy, and manage AI agents that can orchestrate tools, interact with users, and integrate deeply into enterprise workflows.

In this session, you’ll learn the foundations of agentic AI and how to bring them to life with Microsoft’s newest agent platform. You’ll explore agent architecture, capabilities, tools/actions, memory, multi-agent collaboration patterns, MCP integrations, grounding with enterprise data, and secure deployment inside Microsoft Azure. Real-world examples and live demos will show how agents can automate workflows, interact with APIs and .NET services, generate insights from enterprise data, and power new kinds of intelligent applications.
