14 labs available40+ hours
AI engineers transitioning from AI-102 or building agentic AI apps
Navigate every Foundry surface, create a project, and deploy gpt-5-mini, so you know where each capability lives before you build.
45-60 min
Lab 2
Day One at Project Horizon
Deploy three models side by side and choose between them with evidence, using the Model Leaderboard, the comparison playground, and an LLM as judge script.
90-120 min
Lab 3
First Prototype
Call models with the Azure OpenAI Responses API, keep conversation memory across turns, and stream replies so a chat app feels responsive.
90-120 min
Lab 4
Grounding in Reality
Turn a raw model into a reusable Foundry agent with instructions and tools, and ground its answers in real data instead of guesses.
90 min
Lab 5
Understanding Guest Reviews with Azure AI Language
Apply Azure AI Language to real guest feedback: sentiment, key phrases, named entities, PII detection, and summarisation.
45-60 min
Lab 6
The Stress Test
Attack your own assistant with jailbreaks, prompt injection, and data leakage attempts, then close the gaps with a custom content filter and blocklist.
45-60 min
Lab 7
Giving Solara Real Powers with MCP
Connect an agent to a live Model Context Protocol server so it can take real actions against external systems, not just talk about them.
90-120 min
Lab 8
Solara's Internal Knowledge Vault with Foundry IQ
Build a knowledge base from internal documents with Foundry IQ and attach it to an agent so answers are grounded in company sources.
90-120 min
Lab 9
The Quality Gate
Run a production style evaluation with Foundry Evaluations: synthetic datasets, judge models, and the core quality and safety evaluators.
55-60 min
Lab 10
Solara's Multi-Agent Team
Design a team of specialist agents in the Workflows canvas and wire them into sequential and group chat patterns, then read the routing in traces.
90-120 min
Lab 11
What the Photos Say
Use model vision to turn photographs into structured inspection reports and accessibility alt text, and learn where a visual answer stops being reliable.
60-90 min
Lab 12
Making the Picture
Generate images with gpt-image-2, edit what you generated rather than starting over, and turn a still into a short video with Sora 2.
60-90 min
Lab 13
Reading the Paperwork
Use Content Understanding to turn an invoice PDF and a contract into structured fields you can check against each other.
