Build, Debug, and Deploy a Blender Hosted Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot

In this end-to-end developer walkthrough, David Rousset shows how to build a Foundry Hosted Agent running inside Microsoft 365 Copilot using a fun Blender 3D scenario. You’ll see the full workflow: - using the VS Code Foundry extension and the Hotel Python template - testing the agent in the local Playground - debugging the experience locally - switching to the local Blender agent to validate the scenario - deploying the agent - testing it in the remote Playground in VS Code - checking service logs and telemetry - validating everything in the Foundry portal - exploring observability with Application Insights This video is a full build → test → deploy → monitor journey, aimed at developers who want a practical example of how Hosted Agents work in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
