All About AI Foundry Agents | Made for Dev Ep. 6
In this episode of "Made for Dev," we dive deep into the world of AI Agents within Azure AI Foundry. Join your host and special guest Sam Nasser—8-time Microsoft MVP and Senior Software Engineer—as he explains why agents are the "new microservices" and demonstrates how to build, configure, and orchestrate them using natural language.
What you’ll learn in this video:
• What is an AI Agent? Understand the shift from LLMs that just answer questions to agents that execute business tasks [01:30]. • The "Physician" Analogy: Why an LLM is like a doctor who knows the theory but needs "tools" to actually take your blood pressure [02:05]. • Step-by-Step Demo: Watch Sam build a weather-forecasting agent from scratch in Azure AI Foundry, including tool integration via Logic Apps [04:54]. • Evaluation & Quality: How to interpret "Task Adherence" and "Intent Resolution" scores to ensure your agent is performing accurately [10:34]. • Advanced Orchestration: An overview of patterns like Hierarchical and Network orchestration for connecting multiple agents [16:55].
Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting with Generative AI, this session provides a practical roadmap for moving beyond simple chatbots to functional AI-driven microser
