Agentic AI on Azure: Build, Deploy, and Scale Intelligent Agents in the Enterprise

The next generation of software is agentic. These AI agents don't just respond — they plan, reason, act, and adapt. From copilots to autonomous systems, enterprises are rearchitecting workflows around agents. In this hands-on course, you'll go beyond theory. You’ll build fully functional AI agents using Azure AI Studio and Azure OpenAI — and deploy them using enterprise-grade tools. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or tech leader, this course gives you the blueprint to lead the agentic shift in your org.
