At Microsoft Build, we announced the new Work IQ APIs and they’re now generally available for you to start building with today. These APIs are designed for how agents actually work and give you direct access to the intelligence layer behind Microsoft 365. Check out this short video to learn more about how this all works - you can also read the blog below...

Choose a model (any model) and build your application with it. Do not spend time swapping models early on. Do not try to optimize before you have a working system. This is one of the first recommendations I make to every new team I consult with. Eventually, it will be time to optimize the model. • You may need a cheaper model • You may need a faster model • You might need a smarter model Good luck if you stitched together 12 different APIs and SDKs from 7 different vendors. Over half of the companies I consult for run on Microsoft software and have access to Microsoft Foundry. Microsoft Foundry is a complete agentic ecosystem. If you're in that world and building AI applications, Microsoft Foundry is where everything lives: • Models (largest selection in the market) • Agentic SDK (Python, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript) • Tools • Evaluations • Monitoring They are fully integrated with GitHub and Visual Studio Code. The best part: Their agentic platform is fully agnostic of the models you use. You can integrate with any model using the same OpenAI-style API. Swapping one model for another takes 1 second.

One thing I keep hearing is people are not sure of where to start with AI, what to learn around the Microsoft ecosystem with copilots, agents, IQ etc. I've done a lot of videos recently but wanted to create a little bit of a clearer path for those who need a bit more order. I also created if you want an interface for the curated AI path. No adverts, no fluff, no sponsors. Just an easy experience to utilize.

3. Agent factory: Foundry is the complete app platform for building apps and agents. We are adding support for more models from Grok, Hugging Face, Meta, Mistral, and more. Plus: Agentic retrieval in Azure AI Search, Foundry Agent Service, integration with Copilot Studio, and more. And we are ensuring the tools you already use for identity, management, and security will now all extend to agents too. The NFL has already used Foundry, along with our data stack, to run its recent Combine.
