🌅 Morning Event — AgentCamp Mumbai (with Redis)
Time: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM (approx.)
Focus: AI agents, agentic workflows, Redis‑powered memory & real‑time intelligence
🗓 Agenda (Morning)
🔹9:00 – 10:00 AM: Doors Open & Welcome Note
🔹10:00 – 10:30 AM: Querying Real‑Time Data with Redis Query Engine
Speaker: Mohamed Danish Galiyara, Solution Architect, RedisQuery data in Redis using secondary indexes, full‑text search, and structured queries—with real‑time performance.
What you’ll learn:
What Redis Query Engine is and how it works
Indexing & querying data stored in Redis
Real‑time full‑text + structured queries
Data modeling techniques for efficient querying
Use cases: search, filtering, real‑time views
🔹10:30 – 11:00 AM: MCP + Redis - Build an AI Agent That Remembers (Live Demo)
Speaker: Rahul Choubey, Senior Solution Architect, Redis. How to design agents that remember past interactions and use context effectively. Learn how MCP (Model Context Protocol) standardizes tool access for agents, and how Redis powers vector search, memory, and caching to reduce latency and cost.
What you’ll learn:
MCP in plain English (and why it matters for tool‑using agents)
Redis for AI workloads: vector search (RAG), memory, semantic caching
A simple data model for chunks, metadata, and sessions
Avoid repeated/expensive model calls with caching
A production‑ready mental model for agent memory & retrieval
🔹 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Building Enterprise‑Ready AI Agents with Microsoft Foundry & the AI Toolkit
Speaker: Augustine Correa, Microsoft MVP (Developer Technologies & AI Platform)
AI agents move fast — but enterprise applications require structure, consistency, reliability, and standardized tooling.In this hands‑on session, you’ll learn how to prototype, build, and deploy enterprise‑grade, production‑oriented AI agents using Microsoft Foundry and the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.
You’ll walk through practical scenarios such as multimodal agents, semantic product search, and enterprise data integrations. Expect a fast, actionable session designed to take you from idea → working agent with minimal friction.
What you’ll learn:
How to build AI agents using Microsoft Foundry Agent Service
Rapid prototyping workflows with the AI Toolkit for VS Code
Designing multimodal and domain-specific agents
Integrating enterprise data sources using Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Using Python, PostgreSQL & RAG patterns in real applications
Best practices for reliability, debuggability & observability
Resources to continue building after the session
A perfect session for developers looking to accelerate their AI journey with real-world tools and workflows.
🔹 12:15 PM – 2:00 PM — Workshop: Build a Pizza Ordering Agent with Microsoft Foundry & MCP #SoAI #SeasonOfMCP
Format: Hands‑on Workshop
Proctor: Augustine Correa
Hungry to build a real AI agent from scratch? 🍕In this interactive workshop, you’ll go step‑by‑step through building Contoso PizzaBot, a domain‑specific ordering assistant powered by Microsoft Foundry Agent Service and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Start with a simple baseline agent, then progressively upgrade it with memory, tools, external data, and real‑time capabilities — just like a production system.
What you’ll build & learn:
Designing a domain-specific AI agent (PizzaBot!)
Adding system prompts + custom behavioral instructions
Integrating RAG for dynamic knowledge lookup
Introduction to the Awesome Copilot GitHub repository for AI assisted coding primitives.
Using tool calling (like a pizza price calculator)
Connecting MCP-based external services (menu, availability, order tracking)
Handling live customer queries & recommendations
Real-time order management workflow
Turning the prototype into a deployable agent
By the end, you’ll have a fully functional pizza‑ordering agent capable of answering questions, recommending pizzas, and processing orders — all powered by Foundry + MCP.
💻 Bring your laptop — this one’s hands-on, code-first, and designed to get you fully comfortable with practical agent-building workflows.
