Create a prompt agent with Microsoft Foundry SDK
Use a few lines of Python with the Foundry SDK to pair a model with instructions and create an agent.
model = deploy_my_model() agent = create_prompt_agent(model, instructions="Your instructions here") start_conversation(agent)
Python
This snippet illustrates the core concept of using the Microsoft Foundry SDK to instantiate a prompt agent. It involves deploying a model, then using the SDK's function to create an agent by passing the model and a set of instructions. Finally, it shows how to initiate a conversation with the newly created agent.
This Python code snippet demonstrates the basic usage of the Microsoft Foundry SDK to create a prompt agent. It shows how to link a deployed AI model with specific instructions to define the agent's behavior.
The SDK provides simplified functions to abstract the complexities of agent creation, allowing developers to focus on defining the agent's instructions and behavior.
