- Agentic Excellence: Mastering AI Agent Evals w/ Azure AI Evaluation SDK — Cedric Vidal, Microsoft
This talk focuses on the critical process of evaluating AI agents, emphasizing a shift from ad-hoc testing to a more methodical approach. It highlights that effective evaluation should begin at the earliest stages of AI development, not as an afterthought. The presentation introduces tools and frameworks, particularly the Azure AI Evaluation SDK, to ensure AI agents behave correctly and safely as they gain more independence.
- Building Code First AI Agents with Azure AI Agent Service — Cedric Vidal, Microsoft
This talk explores building AI agents using Azure AI Agent Service, focusing on a practical approach for developers. It defines an agent as a semi-autonomous software that pursues a goal by reasoning, integrating with data, and acting on the world. The presentation demonstrates how to leverage Azure AI Agent Service to simplify agent development by managing state, context, and tool integration in the cloud, enabling the creation of applications that can dynamically generate queries, user interfaces, and visualizations.
