For the penultimate session of our Python + AI series, we're building AI agents! We'll use many of the most popular Python AI agent frameworks: Langgraph, Semantic Kernel, Autogen, Pydantic AI, and more. Our agents will start simple and then ramp up in complexity, demonstrating different architectures like hand-offs, round-robin, supervisor, graphs, and ReAct. If you'd like to follow along with the live examples, make sure you've got a GitHub account. 📌 This session is a part of a series.

For the final week of our Python + AI series, we're focusing on the technologies needed to build AI agents, starting with the foundation: tool calling (also known as function calling). We will define our tool call definitions using both JSON schema and Python function definitions, and send those tool definitions to the LLM. We will discover how to properly handle tool call responses from LLMs, enable "parallel" tool calling, and iterate over multiple tool calls. It is absolutely essential to understand tool calling before diving into agents, so do not miss this foundational session. If you'd like to follow along with the live examples, make sure you've got a GitHub account. 📌 This session is a part of a series.

Now that we're more than halfway through our Python + AI series, we're covering a crucial topic: how to use AI safely, and how to evaluate the quality of AI outputs. There are multiple mitigation layers when working with LLMs: the model itself, a safety system on top, the prompting and context, and the application user experience. Our focus will be on Azure tools that make it easier to put safe AI systems into production. We'll show how to configure the Azure AI Content Safety system when working with Azure AI models, and how to handle those errors in Python code. Then we'll use the Azure AI Evaluation SDK to evaluate the safety and quality of the output from our LLM. 📌 This session is a part of a series.

Our newest AI Agents for Beginners course is here. Learn how to build prod-ready AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) — plus how it stacks up against Semantic Kernel and AutoGen. You’ll walk away ready to build with MAF (with code samples!), apply it to your own use cases, and migrate existing frameworks.

Our third stream in the Python + AI series is all about vision models! Vision models are LLMs that can accept both text and images, like GPT 4o and 4o-mini. You can use those models for image captioning, data extraction, question-answering, classification, and more! We'll use Python to send images to vision models, build a basic chat-on-images app, and build a multimodal search engine. If you'd like to follow along with the live examples, make sure you've got a GitHub account. 📌 This session is a part of a series.

We’re honored to be named one of Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech 2025. The future of software is here—and it’s shipping fast. Copilot has come a long way—from autocomplete to a full-feature builder that helps developers create entire software functions. Today, it works like a great human teammate: shows its work, asks for review, and keeps devs in control. That’s why 20M+ developers and 77K+ organizations trust it to help ship faster without sacrificing quality. We’re honored by the recognition—and even more excited about what’s next. https://lnkd.in/gePz2FC9 Catch the future at #GitHubUniverse → https://lnkd.in/ghidkbvE #FCTechAwards

In our third Python + AI session, we'll explore one of the most popular techniques used with LLMs: Retrieval Augmented Generation. RAG is an approach that sends context to the LLM so that it can provide well-grounded answers for a particular domain. The RAG approach can be used with many kinds of data sources like CSVs, webpages, documents, databases. In this session, we'll walk through RAG flows in Python, starting with a simple flow and culminating in a full-stack RAG application based on Azure AI Search. 📌 This session is a part of a series.
