Unlock the power of intelligent agents with the Microsoft Agent Framework. This comprehensive, hands-on course is designed for developers, architects, and technology leaders who want to build real-world AI agent solutions using Microsoft’s rapidly evolving agent ecosystem.
In this course, you will learn the core concepts behind agent-based systems, including orchestration, tool use, grounding, memory, security, and responsible AI practices. Through practical demonstrations and guided labs, you will see how to design, build, and deploy AI agents that can reason, take action, and integrate with enterprise data and applications across the Microsoft platform.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
Understand the architecture and capabilities of the Microsoft Agent Framework
Build, configure, and extend agents using modern AI models and connectors
Integrate agents with Microsoft services such as Azure, Fabric, and Microsoft 365
Apply best practices for scalability, monitoring, and lifecycle management
Design real business scenarios powered by autonomous and semi-autonomous agents
This course is ideal whether you’re getting started with AI agents or looking to formalize and deepen your existing knowledge. Prepare to transform the way applications are built and operated—using intelligent agents as the new foundation for automation and innovation.
