AI is now a core expectation in modern applications—and this workshop will show you how to build intelligent solutions using .NET. You'll begin with the fundamentals of the MEAI SDK and essential techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), then move into building real-world AI workflows using agent-based patterns. Along the way, you'll explore how Model Context Protocol (MCP) enhances the developer experience with tooling and extensibility, and how Azure AI Foundry enables orchestration of multi-agent systems to solve complex tasks—all using the tools and skills you already know in .NET.

You will learn:

• Understand how to use the MEAI SDK and apply techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to build grounded, AI-powered .NET applications.
• Learn how to incorporate agent-based patterns to create intelligent workflows that go beyond simple prompt-response interactions.
• Gain practical experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Azure AI Foundry to enhance developer tooling and orchestrate multi-agent systems.
