Join us for a new 3‑part livestream series where we deploy AI agents on Microsoft Foundry using Microsoft Agent Framework and LangChain/LangGraph, then level them up with tools, observability, and evals.
You'll learn how to:
- Deploy Python agents to Foundry Hosted agents using the Azure Developer CLI
- Build hosted agents with Microsoft Agent Framework, including Foundry IQ integration
- Build hosted agents with LangChain + LangGraph, including built-in tools like Web Search
- Run quality and safety evaluations: continuous evals, scheduled evals, guardrails, and red-teaming
Throughout the series, we’ll use Python for all examples and share full code so you can run everything yourself in your own Foundry projects.

In addition to the live streams, you can also join Join the Microsoft Foundry Discord to ask follow-up questions after each stream.
If you are new to generative AI with Python, start with our 9-part Python + AI series, which covers topics such as LLMs, embeddings, RAG, tool calling, MCP, and agents. If you are new to Microsoft Agent Framework, watch our 6-part Python + Agent series which dives deep into agents and workflows.

Host your agents on Foundry: Microsoft Agent Framework
27 April, 2026 | 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time
Register for the stream on Reactor
In our first session, we'll deploy agents built with Microsoft Agent Framework (the successor of Autogen and Semantic Kernel). Starting with a simple agent, we'll add Foundry tools like Code Interpreter, ground the agent in enterprise data with Foundry IQ, and finally deploy multi-agent workflows. Along the way, we'll use the Foundry UI to interact with the hosted agent, testing it out in the playground and observing the traces from the reasoning and tool calls.
Host your agents on Foundry: LangChain + LangGraph

In our second session, we'll deploy agents built with the popular open-source libraries LangChain and LangGraph. Starting with a simple agent, we'll add Foundry tools like Bing Web Search, ground the agent in Foundry IQ, then deploy more complex agents using the LangGraph orchestration framework. Along the way, we'll use the Foundry UI to interact with the hosted agent, testing it out in the playground and observing the traces from the reasoning and tool calls.
Host your agents on Foundry: Quality & safety evaluations
30 April, 2026 | 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time
Register for the stream on Reactor
In our third session, we'll ensure that our AI agents are producing high-quality outputs and operating safely and responsibly. First we'll explore what it means for agent outputs to be high quality, using built-in evaluators to check overall task adherence and then building custom evaluators for domain-specific checks. With Foundry hosted agents, we can run bulk evaluations on demand, set up scheduled evaluations, and even enable continuous evaluation on a subset of live agent traces. Next we'll discuss safety systems that can be layered on top of agents and audit agents for potential safety risks. To improve compliance with an organization's goals, we can configure custom policies and guardrails that can be shared across agents. Finally, we can ensure that adversarial inputs can't produce unsafe outputs by running automated red-teaming scans on agents, and even schedule those to run regularly as well. With all of these evaluation and compliance features available in Foundry, you can have more confidence hosting your agents in production.
