Beyond the Buzz: Building an Agent from Scratch
Tuesday, November 10, 2026 10:00 AM–11:00 AM Pacific Time
Custom AI Agents aren’t just for developers anymore. Join us to see a real AI agent built live from start to finish using GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Foundry.
We'll follow a familiar business challenge: keeping up with a constant stream of customer requests while ensuring the most important issues don't fall through the cracks. Together, we'll build an AI agent that understands business-specific information, helps prioritize what matters most, and supports day-to-day operations.
In this webinar, we will cover the following:
- Starting From Scratch: A realistic understanding of what it takes to build a custom AI agent from the ground up.
- Confidence to Get Started: See how custom AI is becoming more accessible, even without a development team or specialized coding expertise through natural language
- AI That Knows Your Business: A firsthand look at how agents can use your pricing, policies, processes, and business information for higher quality output
- From Idea to Deployment: An understanding of how GitHub, GitHub Copilot, and Microsoft Foundry work together to take an idea from concept to a working solution by the end of our session
- Your Next Steps: Practical resources and guidance to help you continue your AI journey after the session.
