Automate evaluations | Microsoft Foundry

I'll start by showing my finished agent.

Then after that, I'll show you the steps I took using Foundry to make it production ready.

This agent is designed to take a simple user prompt, then find what it needs to build apps automatically.

So I'll paste in my prompt, asking it to generate a Windows desktop app for personal cash flow management.

It needs to be fast, use web UI, and easy to use for broad appeal.

I'm also asking it to make it safe, secure, and follow privacy best practices, and it needs to be easy for developers to read, maintain, and to add to it.

I'll submit the request, and it gets to work with its reasoning on the left and code on the right.

This process takes several minutes to complete with a few interactions in between, so to save a little time, I'll skip to the result.

We can see the agent's reasoning and plan with its technology stack, approach, and initial action.

Then we can follow all the steps it performed to author and configure the app and its dependencies.

Below that is the React code in JavaScript.

It asks whether to proceed writing this as an Electron and React setup, and I confirmed.

Then it started to write, test, and iterate on the app, followed by another question whether to implement more features or focus on security, and I responded to do both.

It then finished writing the app, and finally, it outlined the steps to run the app locally.

So let's test it out.

I'll move over to my terminal window running PowerShell and start it, and here is the generated app.

It's fully functional with user authentication.

I can enter my first item, travel expenses, and the amount, and there's a category drop-down menu with pre-configured options, and I'll choose transportation.

And it writes that record into the local data store.

This is a simple production-ready app that the agent was able to create in just a few minutes.
