Reviewer's verdict

It's a free product tour, not a practical coding lab. Use it to understand what Foundry *is*, but don't expect to learn how to *build* with it.

Who it's for

Developers getting a first look at Microsoft Foundry's API surface.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking to build and deploy a functional chat app.

Pros

  • Quick overview of the Foundry SDK.
  • Free to access.
  • Shows how the Responses and OpenAI APIs connect.

Cons

  • The 'exercise' is just copying and pasting pre-written code.
  • Doesn't go deep enough to be useful for a real project.
  • Feels more like a product manual than a hands-on tutorial.

The title 'Develop a generative AI chat app' is generous. The exercise gives you a Python script and tells you to copy-paste it. You don't write any code, just run what's provided. I didn't 'develop an app'—I ran a script. The final quiz asks basic recall questions about API names. It's a quick, free way to see the syntax, but it's just a documentation walkthrough.
