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

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
