Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate AI-102 Practice Question
Your team is deciding whether to call GPT-4 directly from code or to build a custom agent with Azure AI Studio. The planned workload must reason over several steps, keep short-term memory of the conversation, decide when to query internal APIs, and return a unified answer. According to Microsoft's agent guidance, what is the key responsibility that the agent adds beyond the base language model?
Providing a fine-tuned language model that better understands the organization's domain terminology.
Establishing secure private networking between the application and Azure cognitive services.
Exposing a REST endpoint that streams raw model completions without additional logic.
Orchestrating multi-step reasoning by maintaining state, selecting tools, and delegating calls to accomplish a user goal autonomously.
An Azure AI agent wraps a foundation model with an orchestration layer that can keep conversational state (memory), break a user goal into steps (planning), and invoke external tools or data sources when needed (tool selection). The other options describe capabilities of models, networking, or simple inference endpoints, none of which on their own provide the reasoning and orchestration required.
