Using Azure AI Foundry SDK for your AI apps and agents

Design, customize and manage your own custom applications with
Azure AI Foundry right from your code. With Azure AI Foundry,
leverage over 1,800 models, seamlessly integrating them into your
coding environment to create agents and tailored app experiences.
Utilize Retrieval Augmented Generation and vector search to
enrich responses with contextual information, as well with
built-in services to incorporate cognitive skills such as
language, vision, and safety detection.


Dan Taylor, Principal Product Architect for Azure AI Foundry SDK,
also shares how to streamline your development process with tools
for orchestration and monitoring. Use templates to simplify
resource deployment and run evaluations against large datasets to
optimize performance. With Application Insights, gain visibility
into your app's metrics, enabling data-driven decisions for
continuous improvement.
