What to expect

Building AI agents that can handle real-world complexity requires more than just connecting an LLM to a prompt — they need to persist state, recover from failures, and orchestrate multi-step workflows without breaking under pressure. This virtual session from Microsoft Reactor and NVIDIA dives deep into the architecture patterns that make AI agents production-ready, demonstrating how to build durable systems that can pause, resume, and self-heal.

What You'll Learn

Using a practical Travel Planner sample application, speakers Bruno Capuano (Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft) and Don Chouinard (AI Product & Marketing Leader at NVIDIA) will walk through:

  • Building resilient AI agents with the Microsoft Agent Framework deployed on Azure Container Apps
  • Leveraging NVIDIA serverless GPUs for scalable, cost-effective agent compute
  • Orchestrating long-running workflows that maintain state across sessions
  • Implementing automatic failure recovery so agents can self-correct when APIs fail or tasks time out
  • Designing human-in-the-loop patterns where agents pause for approval without losing workflow context
  • Integrating Foundry IQ as a trusted knowledge source within agent architectures

Technical Focus

This is a hands-on technical session focused on .NET patterns for production agent systems. You'll see real architectural decisions in action — from state persistence strategies to retry logic, from monitoring agent behaviour to scaling compute dynamically with GPU resources. The Travel Planner demo will show an agent coordinating flight searches, hotel bookings, and itinerary generation while handling API failures, user input delays, and service interruptions gracefully.

Whether you're building customer service bots, workflow automation agents, or agentic RAG systems, the durability patterns covered in this session apply across domains. You'll leave with practical knowledge of how to move beyond fragile prototypes to agents that can run reliably in production environments.

Who Should Attend

This session is ideal for developers working with AI agents, cloud architects designing scalable AI systems, and technical leaders evaluating infrastructure for agentic applications. Familiarity with .NET, Azure, and basic AI concepts will help you get the most from the technical demonstrations.

This event is part of the AI Apps & Agents Dev Days series — a collection of virtual sessions exploring cutting-edge topics in AI application developm
