Building Custom AI and Intelligent Apps

Building smart software with AI

AI is no longer experimental; it’s a standard part of modern software development. Users expect intelligent behavior in applications: automatic suggestions, smart search functions, predictions, and context-aware responses. This training shows you how to add that intelligence yourself to new or existing applications – in a reliable, secure, and scalable way.

You’ll learn how to apply AI models, copilots, and agents using Azure AI Services, Azure AI Foundry, and Semantic Kernel. We combine theory with hands-on coding so that you not only understand how the technology works but also how to effectively integrate it into your software.

Our trainings are developed by developers who work daily with Azure AI on client projects where reliability, quality, and scalability are key. You’ll learn from professionals who know not just how to use AI, but how to use it well: practically, responsibly, and future-proof.

In addition to technical building blocks, we cover architecture, testability, and responsible AI use. You’ll learn how to develop AI features that fit within modern development principles, how to keep them maintainable, and how to prevent them from introducing unnecessary risks.

By the end of this training, you’ll know not just what AI can do, but how you can apply it in practice – with the tools, patterns, and choices that enable smart software with real value.

What you’ll learn

After a short introduction where we discuss goals and AI experience, you’ll work through five blocks combining theory and practical assignments. Adaptable based on experience and learning needs.
