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.

I break down exactly how to view, run, and test declarative workflows inside VS Code — no fluff, just practical steps. You’ll learn how to open workflow files, understand agent logic, and test everything with real-world examples. Whether you're building multi-agent systems or just curious about how Foundry works, this tutorial will help you get hands-on fast. 🎯 What’s inside the video: - How to open and explore workflows in VS Code - Running workflows with Microsoft Foundry - Testing agent logic and human-in-the-loop steps - Tips for debugging and refining your setup 👉 Watch now: Happy learning!

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...

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...

In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, the ability to generate SQL queries without a predefined schema can significantly enhance flexibility and efficiency. Leveraging the power of GPT-3.5 Turbo , we can achieve this by fine-tuning the model to understand and generate schema-free SQL queries.  Why Schema-Free SQL Queries? Traditional SQL queries rely on a predefined schema, which can be limiting in case of huge number of tables or columns. Here are the few benefits of using schema-free approach: Efficiency: By not requiring schema definitions in every prompt, you save on prompt size and reduce the complexity of your queries, making the process faster and more efficient. User-Friendly: It simplifies the querying process for users who may not be familiar with the database schema, enabling them to retrieve data using natural language descriptions. Adaptability: GPT models can adapt to various database structures and types, making them versatile tools for querying differen...

In the ever-evolving landscape of data management and artificial intelligence, the ability to generate SQL queries using natural language inputs is a game-changer. Azure OpenAI , with its powerful language models, offers a seamless way to translate natural language into SQL queries, making data interaction more intuitive and accessible. This article will guide you through the process of leveraging Azure OpenAI to generate SQL queries, enhancing your data querying capabilities. Introduction Azure OpenAI Service provides access to OpenAI’s powerful language models through the Azure platform. These models are capable of understanding and generating human-like text, making them ideal for tasks such as natural language processing, text generation, and, importantly, translating natural language into SQL queries. Setting Up Azure OpenAI and Azure SQL DB Before you can start generating SQL queries, you need to set up your Azure OpenAI environment. Here are the steps. Create an Azure Account...

In today’s data-driven era, where we are dealing with massive data pertaining to different data sources having different data formats, it creates a very big challenge, especially in terms of efficient search and information retrieval. Dive into this deep ocean and locating the correct data is not at all an easy task with AI. In this article, I’ll show you how you can integrate Azure SQL Database, FAISS , and advanced models from Hugging Face to enhance your search capabilities. Let’s take a quick look at each of these pillars. Understanding Terminology Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Database i s a cloud-based service that provides a totally managed database system.
