Model Mondays S2E07: AI-Assisted Azure Development

Want to bring the power of AI-assisted development to Azure workflows? Join us as we talk to Sandeep Sen about two key tools – the Azure MCP server, and the GitHub Copilot Extension for Azure – that can help you understand, debug & build with Azure resources and services (beyond just Azure AI Foundry) with the power of natural language.

We're also joined by Kurt DeMaagd, Chief AI Officer and co-founder at SightMachine, who walks us through how SightMachine's Filler AI streamlines operations on the manufacturing floor using Azure AI Foundry models.
