This is what I am looking for, which can define the AI Agents in simple terms with use cases.

By Thomas Belekokia on 5/17/2026

A single 20 lines of code. function takes sometimes 2-3 lessons to present. Simple things are too much extended, you keep loosing the scope. No visuals used other then code - again not helping. Videos not prepared for mobile devices - too small to read.

By Mohammed Abdelaziz on 4/11/2026

The instructor demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, and this course provides a solid foundational grasp of key principles. However, the content is somewhat outdated, particularly in relation to the coding standards and the bonus topic. Currently, only one module has been recently updated, addressing the latest General Availability (GA) of the Foundry. It is essential to anticipate further updates; otherwise, the course may not fully align with the requirements of the new version of Foundry.

im looking for course that can help me use my own data to build persoal AI Agent like chatgpt

By Deena Nath on 2/1/2026

I have completed more than 15 courses on Udemy platform. And this is the best one. Every explanation is very clear and concise. Thank you for amazing course.

By Sohail Ali . on 1/26/2026

Excellent Course with detailed Explanation of Each concepts very Clearly loved it Thank You.

By Virendra Kumar Tewari on 1/5/2026

Well explained Azure AI Foundry and demo code, as initially I straggled due old/new library, some how I managed and later I got updated demo code for newer version in GA section.

By Keshav Patel on 12/27/2025

OpenAPI with multiple functions: Some APIs contain multiple endpoints, and the agent needs to choose the correct one. It would be helpful if the agent could confirm with the user when uncertain, to avoid calling the wrong function. SQL queries with Agents: Agents can generate SQL queries automatically, but users may not know the database schema or table/column names. It would be useful if the agent could validate input or suggest alternatives when incorrect information is provided. These improvements could enhance user guidance, error handling, and clarity of actions, making interactions safer and more reliable. Overall: The course is excellent for beginners, providing a strong foundation in agent-based AI and Semantic Kernel concepts.

By Eduardo on 11/29/2025

The course seems necessarily easy to me to understand basic concepts even professional ones, I can say that it is one of the few courses that I give 5 stars, it also has practical things, I think it will not give you the answer to everything but clearly it will give you strong foundations to understand concepts. Highly recommended, especially that it is updated. Nice!!!

By Pavel Vlasov on 11/3/2025

A good course. One possibele improvement is to level audio - most of the lectures are on the same level, but there are a few too loud an a few too quiet.
