Extract insights from visual data on Azure Training in Australia

Visual data is becoming a critical asset for modern organisations. This course explores how to build intelligent applications that can interpret, analyse, and reason over images and documents using Azure AI services and multimodal models.

We believe organisations that can combine data, AI, and cloud technologies will unlock faster and more accurate decision-making. This course focuses on applying multimodal and agent-based AI patterns to extract structured insights from visual inputs and integrate them into real-world workflows. Learners will gain practical experience in designing solutions that combine visual understanding with language models, enabling applications that move from perception to action within Azure environments.
