At Microsoft Build 2025, James Codella, Ph.D. demonstrates how to easily bring your own thread storage for AI agents using Azure Cosmos DB and the Azure AI Agent Service.

In this session, you'll learn how to use Bicep templates from the Azure AI Foundry samples library to set up your environment, connect your agent instances to Azure Cosmos DB, and persist agent thread and session data—including inputs, outputs, tool usage, and more.

🔍 Key highlights:
* Seamless setup of thread storage with Azure Cosmos DB
* Persist chat histories and agent metadata
* Use thread data for context retention and downstream analysis
* Full visibility and control over agent interactions
* Supports GPT-4.0 Mini and the Agent Playground in AI Foundry

Whether you’re building agentic applications or need persistent conversational context at scale, Azure Cosmos DB makes it easy and cost-effective to manage AI threads with speed, security, and flexibility.
