Azure Databricks supports building, evaluating, and deploying AI agents, from simple LLM calls to tool-calling agents and multi-agent systems. These guides cover the concepts, development workflows, and tools you use to ship an agent.
Looking for classic ML or deep learning? See Machine learning on Azure Databricks.
