Stop hand-coding RAG plumbing for every agent.

Foundry IQ lets you encapsulate knowledge retrieval into reusable Knowledge Bases backed by Azure AI Search—handling query planning, decomposition, parallel hybrid retrieval (keyword + vector), reranking, and grounded responses with citations out of the box.

In this session, we'll build a minimal but production-real agent using the Microsoft Agent Framework that calls Foundry IQ. From there, we’ll focus on what actually matters to developers: query steering, multi-source retrieval behavior, and getting predictable, structured outputs your agents can reliably reason over and compose.

Expect a tight, code-first walkthrough and practical patterns you can reuse immediately—without reinventing yet another RAG pipeline.
