How to build and ship an AI agent in the GitHub Copilot app

Go from a GitHub issue prompt to a deployed, production-ready AI agent without switching between browser tabs or cloud portals. In this hands-on walkthrough, learn how to use the Microsoft Foundry Skill and Foundry Canvas inside the GitHub Copilot app to build a grounded backer concierge for Tailspin Toys. Watch as Copilot provisions Azure resources, selects and deploys a model, tests against hallucinations, and sets up a credential-safe proxy.
