In this practical workshop, you’ll learn how to design and implement a fully functional AI chat agent from the ground up. Using the Microsoft Agent Framework, Chainlit, and GitHub Models, you’ll progressively build an intelligent assistant capable of:
- Holding natural, contextual conversations
- Calling external tools (e.g., fetching live weather data)
- Integrating seamlessly with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for extended functionality

By the end of the session, you’ll have a working agent prototype that demonstrates real-world capabilities, from answering questions to orchestrating tool calls, and a clear roadmap for extending it into production-ready solutions.

This workshop is ideal for developers, students, and AI enthusiasts eager to gain hands-on experience with modern agent frameworks and practical integrations. Bring your laptop and curiosity: we’ll provide the code, guidance, and inspiration to get your agent up and running.
