A hands-on, step-by-step workshop for building a Travel Assistant agent on Microsoft Foundry hosted agents with the Agent Framework - growing from a single agent to a multi-agent planner with function
Foundry hosted agents with Agent Framework — Travel Assistant Workshop
This repository is the template source for the workshop. It is not a live Step 00 instance.
After you create your own copy from this template, initialization runs automatically and your copy rewrites README.md to the real Step 00 content with progress/status and step navigation.
You will build a travel assistant that grows one capability at a time. Starting from a single hosted Foundry agent, by step 9 it will be a multi-agent travel planner with function tools, MCP integration, retrieval-augmented generation, durable workflows, and persistent memory.
The workshop is built on top of the upstream foundry-samples and is delivered as a GitHub template repository: you don't edit this repo directly — you create your own copy, then advance one step at a time. Each advance rewrites the README.md to show the next step in place.
This is a GitHub template repository. You must create your own copy before doing anything else.
1. Click the green "Use this template" button at the top of this page → Create a new repository. 2. Pick a name and owner, choose visibility (Public or Private), and click Create repository. 3. The included Initialize workshop Action runs automatically on the first push to your new repo. It lays down the step 0 starter files into travelassistant/ and substitutes your owner/repo into the README's Action URLs. Wait for it to finish in the Actions tab of your new repo (\~30 seconds). If you don't see a run, your org may have Actions disabled by default — enable them under Settings → Actions
