Before the workshop
Get ready for the workshop
About 15 minutes, and worth finishing by Thursday 20 August. The checklist is interactive and covers both tracks, whether you work in a Codespace or on your own machine.
Build Production-Ready AI Agents with the Microsoft Stack

Start here
Step by step and interactive, for both tracks, Codespace or your own machine. This is the one setup document. Start here.
The code and labs
Everything you use during the modules lives in the lab repository on GitHub, which your joining email invites you into. That is step 2 of the checklist. There is nothing to download from this site.
Your key never lives on this website or in the repository. The course endpoint key arrives in your joining email, and it goes only into your own lab/.env file.
All course data is invented, for a fictional insurer called Contoso.
