Are you ready to move beyond simple chatbots and build complex, multi-agent AI systems that deliver real business value? In this episode, technology leader David Lorenzo Lopez breaks down how to orchestrate intelligent automation using the latest Microsoft tools. From the evolution of GPT to the sophisticated Microsoft Agent Framework, learn how to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly changing world of AI.

🚀 Video Overview

We explore the shift from monolithic AI to modular micro-agent architectures, comparing it to the transition from monoliths to microservices in traditional web development. David explains the critical differences between Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry, helping you choose the right platform based on your licensing, performance needs, and technical expertise.

The conversation also covers the essential balance between deterministic workflows and the creative power of LLMs. You will learn about the importance of keeping a human in the loop for critical approvals, navigating the complexities of the EU AI Act, and managing token costs through smart FinOps practices. Whether you are a low-code maker or a pro-code developer, this deep dive provides a roadmap for building scalable, compliant, and cost-effective AI ecosystems.
