What you’ll learn

  • AI workloads, responsible AI, and how Microsoft Foundry supports AI in Azure.
  • Generative AI and agents, including creating an agent in Microsoft Foundry.
  • Natural language processing and text analysis with Azure Language.
  • Speech capabilities and Azure Speech in Foundry Tools.
  • Computer vision with vision-capable models in Foundry.
  • Information extraction with Azure Content Understanding.

Bonus sections cover Machine Learning and AI Agent Workflow. Some Python syntax and programming knowledge, plus familiarity with Azure resources and cloud concepts, will help you get started.

Hands-on learning from lesson one

  • 23 guided simulations: 10 AI-901 and 13 AI-900
  • 10 labs
  • 8 lab walkthroughs
  • 2 bonus sections

Guided simulations let you practice without setting up or paying for an Azure subscription. Follow the per-lesson access codes supplied in your course on upresenter.ai. Course exercises and labs have their own environment requirements; the no-subscription benefit applies to the guided simulations.
