Hungry for practical AI agent skills? 🍕 In this workshop, participants will learn how to design and deploy domain-specific agents using Microsoft Foundry Agent Service. Starting from a simple baseline agent, you’ll progressively enhance it with:
- System prompts & custom instructions to shape behavior
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for knowledge integration
- Tool calling (e.g., a pizza calculator) to extend functionality
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) connections to external services for live menu and order handling.

By the end of the session, you’ll have built your very own Contoso PizzaBot: an intelligent agent capable of answering customer questions, recommending pizzas, and managing orders in real time.

This workshop is ideal for developers, AI enthusiasts, and students who want hands-on experience with agent frameworks and practical integrations. Bring your laptop and appetite for learning — we’ll serve up both code and pizza logic!
