Don't worry. Not everyone knows it...

AI workflows were a great starting point. They helped us build early prototypes, automate simple tasks, and experiment with LLMs. But the future of AI is not workflows - it's agents. Agents are more flexible, more intelligent, and more aligned with how real‑world tasks work. If you want to understand this shift - and learn exactly how to convert your existing workflows into agents - my video will walk you through the entire process step by step. Watch it. Learn it. Build with it. Your future AI systems will thank you.

Why Foundry Is a Big Deal AI is moving fast, and Microsoft Foundry is one of the biggest updates you should know about. It’s not just another platform—it’s a new way to build AI agents that can actually do things. Instead of being limited to answering questions, these agents can plan, reason, connect to apps, and pull knowledge from your company’s data. If you’ve ever wished your chatbot could act more like a teammate, Foundry is where that shift happens. Agents: Smarter Than Assistants Traditional assistants were reactive—they waited for you to ask something. Foundry agents are proactive. They can: - Understand intent beyond keywords. - Plug into tools and apps. - Pull info from knowledge bases like Foundry IQ . - Execute tasks without constant supervision. Think of them as digital interns who never get tired and don’t need coffee breaks. Tools: Giving Agents Superpowers Tools are what make agents useful. They’re the “hands” that let agents interact with the world. With Foundry Tools...

If you’ve ever talked to a chatbot or used an AI assistant to answer a question, there’s a good chance it used something called RAG or was powered by AI agents behind the scenes. But what are these things, and how are they different? Let’s break it down in a way that’s super easy to understand. 🛠️✨ 📚 What is RAG? RAG stands for Retrieval-Augmented Generation . Think of it like this: Imagine you’re doing a school project on volcanoes. You know a little, but instead of guessing answers, you Google it first, grab info from a few trusted websites, and then write your project in your own words. That’s what RAG does: It retrieves useful information from a database or search system. Then it generates a response based on what it found. It’s like a super-smart librarian + writer combo! 📖✍️ 📌 Perfect for: Answering questions based on a LOT of documents (like customer support FAQs or legal documents). 🕹️ What is an AI Agent? An AI Agent is like a digital helper that can think, plan, and eve...

Imagine you're at a busy airport, and planes from different airlines are landing and taking off. To keep everything running smoothly, air traffic controllers decide which runway each plane should use. Now, think of AI models as those planes—each one has different strengths, speeds, and capabilities. The Azure Model Router  acts like an air traffic controller for AI models, ensuring that every request gets handled by the best model available. What is Azure Model Router? Azure Model Router is a smart AI system that automatically selects the best AI model to respond to a request. Instead of developers manually choosing which AI model to use, the Model Router does it for them, optimizing for speed, cost, and accuracy. It’s part of Azure AI Foundry , a platform that helps businesses and developers deploy AI models efficiently. Why Do We Need It? AI models come in different types—some are great at answering questions, others are better at reasoning, and some are super-fast but less detai...

AI models are powerful, but their utility is often limited by their inability to interact with external systems efficiently. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is designed to bridge this gap, allowing AI models to integrate seamlessly with external tools, APIs, and real-time data sources. By standardizing this interaction, MCP enables AI assistants to provide more informed, precise, and interactive responses.                                                            image generated from copilot What is MCP? MCP is an open protocol designed to improve how applications communicate context to Large Language Models (LLMs) . It allows AI models to access relevant information from external sources dynamically, reducing reliance on static training data and enhancing responsiveness. MCP supports multiple interaction method...
