Agentic AI Development with Azure & Semantic Kernel

Ready to create the future of AI applications with autonomous AI agents? This practical course guides you through the process of developing, deploying, and orchestrating intelligent AI agents using the power of Microsoft Azure Foundry Agent Service and the Semantic Kernel SDK.

Whether you're a software engineer, AI developer, cloud architect, or simply a tech enthusiast, you'll gain the essential skills to build impactful, agentic AI systems.

We start with a deep dive into the core concepts of agentic AI: understanding what it is, its growing importance, and how Microsoft Azure is revolutionizing this field. You'll then get hands-on experience building your first AI agent with Azure Foundry, utilizing both pre-built and custom tools, and integrating external APIs. Learn to enable crucial functionalities like memory and planning within your agents.

Next, explore Semantic Kernel, a robust SDK designed for building context-aware and task-driven agents. Master the use of planners, connectors, and semantic memory to unlock autonomous behavior and achieve goal-oriented execution. The course also covers orchestration of multi-agent systems, enabling collaboration between multiple agents to tackle complex, distributed tasks.

By the end of this course, you'll possess practical skills, reusable templates, and the confidence to build and deploy scalable AI agents in real-world business applications leveraging the latest Azure AI capabilities.

No prior experience with Foundry or Semantic Kernel is necessary. If you're passionate about building intelligent, autonomous systems, this course is your starting point for the future of AI development.
