AI Agents for Beginners

One kɔs we go teach you everything wey you need sabi to start build AI Agents

🌐 Support for Many Languages

Support dey from GitHub Action (E dey automatic & e dey always update)

You Dey Prefer Make You Clone For Your Machine?

This repository get over 50 language translations wey go make the download big well well. If you wan clone without di translations, use sparse checkout:

Bash / macOS / Linux:
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners.git
cd ai-agents-for-beginners
git sparse-checkout set --no-cone '/*' '!translations' '!translated_images'
CMD (Windows):
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners.git
cd ai-agents-for-beginners
git sparse-checkout set --no-cone "/*" "!translations" "!translated_images"
Dis one go give you everything wey you need quick quick to finish di kɔs.

If you want make dem put more translation languages, dem dey listed here.

🌱 How to Start

Dis kɔs get lessons wey cover the fundamentals of how to build AI Agents. Each lesson get him own topic so you fit start from anywhere wey you like!

This kɔs get multi-language support. Go our available languages here.

If na your first time to build with Generative AI models, check our Generative AI For Beginners kɔs, wey get 21 lessons on how to build with GenAI.

No forget to star (🌟) dis repo and fork dis repo to fit run the code.

Wetin You Need

Each lesson for this kɔs get code examples, wey dey for inside the code_samples folder. You fit fork dis repo to make your own copy.

The code examples for these exercises dey use Microsoft Agent Framework with Azure AI Foundry Agent Service V2:

Microsoft Foundry - You need Azure Account

This kɔs dey use these AI Agent frameworks and services from Microsoft:

Some code samples still fit use other OpenAI-compatible providers like MiniMax, wey get large-context models (up to 204K tokens). Make you check the Course Setup for how to set am up.
