Learn how to design, build, and evaluate intelligent AI agents using Microsoft Azure AI Foundry. This hands-on course introduces the foundations of AI agent development and guides you through creating practical agents that can respond to real-world scenarios using modern Azure AI services. You’ll begin by exploring how AI agents differ from traditional automation systems and how reactive, deliberative, and hybrid agents operate in different use cases. Using Azure AI Foundry, you’ll learn to configure models, deploy AI services, and create effective system prompts that improve agent behavior and response quality. As the course progresses, you’ll build a portfolio-ready hotel information agent capable of handling guest inquiries, managing conversations, and integrating knowledge sources. You’ll also enhance agent capabilities using Azure AI services including language understanding, search, translation, sentiment analysis, and multimodal AI tools. The course concludes with testing, deployment, and portfolio development strategies that help you understand how AI agents operate in production environments. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build, evaluate, and deploy intelligent AI agents using Azure AI Foundry and related Azure AI services.

Well designed course with enough detail in the explanation.

The course is outdated because Azure introduced a new interface and deprecated features like Knowledge Base. This happened just two weeks after the course was published.
Some repeatition of information and incoherency between contents. Confusing usage of model vs agent, and association with deployment endpoint. The portfolio exercise should not be a graded one because the value of it depends on the individual.
The course has very little real progress. The same basic ideas are repeated many times, even "deep dive" items. Sometimes what is promised in the descriptions or titles does not match what is actually shown, and many topics that should involve real integration or deeper learning are only treated in a superficial way. Some of the materials have quality problems and contain mistakes that make the content feel unreliable. Some tests ask about things that were never explained, and many of the answer choices are so unrealistic (when not simply absurd) that the questions do not work as proper evaluations. Some parts also describe processes or features in a way that does not reflect how they work in real situations. Overall, the course is repetitive, shallow and at times misleading.
I didnt like the content as there is no proper strcuture to the lab work and we need to do everything in our own cloud subscription

Well designed course with enough detail in the explanation.
Very thoughtful and impressive learning!
Excellent but certificate not receive
Overall, the course left me feeling confidant in my ability to able to create, coinfigure, and manage AI Agents using Azure AI Foundry. The only neagtive experience was that it seems some of the quizzes or knowledge-checks asked about subjects that had not yet been covered. One point of frustration was tht the AI Foundry UI has apparently changed and some of the features oand services being taught arent available or have been integrated a newer, higher level feature in the UI.
Nice initial content, pretty informative. Then, once hands-on starts provided guidance is total garbage. It doesn't match what's really available, specifically Model Deployment. I spent dance figuring out on my own, which is NOT what class is for. Too bad, could be a good class. Moving on to different class.
- many questions are very tendentious (you can chose the right answer even without reading the question) - same activities / topics/ are talked about and shown over and over again (e.g., agent chat playground, vision analysis) - too much video/audio - it's easier to read about sth - many steps of practice assignments are not providing value (e.g., ask 10 questions of the same type to check agent responses) - questions displayed when video plays are annoying - they are sometimes not even linked to the content being played - course refers to hospitality domain as if that was the only one that is using agents nowadays - "Enter five different hotel-related phrases, such as “Welcome to our hotel” or “Is breakfast included?” For each phrase, translate it into five target languages by selecting the languages from the Translate to dropdown. Check if the translations make sense. Write down which languages worked well and note if any language was missing or produced an odd result." - Really? What value does this bring in 2026?!
