Building an AI agent is the easy part. Hosting, extending, and understanding what it’s doing is where things get interesting. In this developer-focused session, we’ll explore how to host both Prompt Agents and code-based Hosted Agents in Microsoft Foundry, including using Microsoft Agent Framework to build and deploy hosted agents.

We’ll also look at how Foundry Tools can extend what agents can do and how built-in observability helps you trace, debug, and understand agent behavior. Through demos and practical examples, you’ll get a hands-on look at the capabilities Microsoft Foundry provides for building, hosting, and operating AI agents.
