Agent Framework: The New Standard for Agentic Development
Jose Luis Latorre, Microsoft AI MPV & Software Architect at Swiss Life AG

AI agents are more than conversation—they’re decision makers and actors. In this session, we dive into Microsoft Agent Framework, showing how it empowers you to build robust, production-ready agents with minimal boilerplate. We’ll cover the core building blocks—agents, tools, orchestration—and show why this framework is a next-gen unifier that brings together ideas from Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and open AI runtimes. Then, we’ll build a working agent live, wiring a tool and driving a simple scenario, to show how little code is actually needed to power something useful. Along the way, you’ll see the elegance, flexibility, and developer ergonomics that set Agent Framework apart. This is not theory: you’ll see it in action, and walk away inspired by how much you can build with so little.

Feel the difference: Create Agents with Copilot Studio vs. Azure AI Foundry
Dr. Alexander Wachtel, Microsoft AI MVP & MCT, CEO @ESC Deutschland GmbH

This session shows the difference on creating Agents from the low code Copilot Studio compared the developers friendly Azure AI Foundry. Agents from both generate human-like texts for all customer inquiries through generative AI and the integration of company-internal knowledge sources. But on the one side, Microsoft Copilot Studio enables end users to create powerful AI-powered copilots. Inside the topics your copilot answers common questions to resolving issues requiring complex conversations. On the other side, Azure AI Foundry enables developers on creating powerful Agents and control each step of the interaction.
