This talk was given at Future Tech 2026.

How many AI agents and LLM's does it take to change a lightbulb? LLM's are a very hot topic right now, but can we use them in a real business scenario? Thanks to the open-source SDK called Microsoft Agent Framework, you can seamlessly integrate an LLM-based AI with your own code to perform more complex tasks like sending emails, updating databases, ordering tickets, and much more... With the Agent Framework, you can leverage the same AI orchestration patterns that power Microsoft's Copilots in your own applications. In this session, Johnny will explain the concepts and prove them using demos on a number of fun personal applications where he added a copilot using the Microsoft Agent Framework, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI and Azure Cognitive Services.
