AI applications are moving beyond chat and copilots into the age of agentic applications, where agents reason over your data, use tools, and take action.

In this demo-driven session, you’ll see how Microsoft Agent Framework can build and orchestrate agents, how MCP servers connect agents to tools and data, and how Microsoft Foundry and Foundry Hosted Agents provide models and a managed environment to run your agentic applications.

We’ll put your data at the center, using Azure Databases, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft IQ to ground agents with operational data, analytics, and enterprise context.

Finally, we’ll introduce Rayfin, a new and simpler architecture for building agentic applications with your data. And we’ll show how AI-assisted development with tools like GitHub Copilot and reusable skills can help you build these applications faster.
