We continually add capabilities to Azure AI Foundry to empower your teams to do just that. That means business leaders in the era of AI have a lot to consider\u2014it\u2019s easy to get lost in the forest when all the new trees keep making it bigger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I\u2019m sharing a couple of the most important Azure AI Foundry innovations announced in recent weeks that keep the forest in view, and that improve operational efficiency, maximize investments, so that you can focus on differentiating in a competitive landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/ai-foundry\">Get started with Azure AI Foundry<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-to-help-power-your-agentic-future\">Tools to help power your agentic future&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI agents have the potential to transform every business process\u2014revolutionizing productivity by automating routine tasks and enabling employees to focus on more strategic work. We\u2019ve announced several agentic capabilities and tools on Azure AI Foundry to help you efficiently put AI agents to work in your organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/blog\/azure-ai-services-blog\/expand-azure-ai-agent-with-new-knowledge-tools-microsoft-fabric-and-tripadvisor\/4398085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>New knowledge tools with Azure AI Agent Service<\/strong><\/a> securely ground AI agent outputs with enterprise knowledge, for accurate, relevant, and contextually aware responses. Azure AI Agent Service provides a wide range of knowledge tools for various data types, including unstructured, structured, private, licensed, and public web data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Microsoft Fabric data agents were announced today at the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/Fabric-Con-Blog-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Fabric Community Conference<\/a> to allow developers using Azure AI Agent Service to connect customized, conversational agents created in Microsoft Fabric. These data agents can reason over and unlock insights from various enterprise structured and semantic data sources, making better data-driven decisions. Fabric data agents retrieve, understand, and synthesize data from OneLake, determining when to use specific data and how to combine it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combining Fabric\u2019s sophisticated enterprise data analysis capabilities with Azure AI Foundry\u2019s cutting-edge GenAI technology means you can create custom conversational AI agents leveraging domain expertise. And the Fabric-Foundry pathway connects your data teams with your dev teams, putting them on a common, secure, and enterprise-ready AI platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One customer making use of the Microsoft Fabric-Azure AI Foundry bridge is NTT DATA. NTT DATA leverages data agents in Microsoft Fabric to actually have conversations with HR and back office operations data to better understand what is happening in the organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pKrWV0s1acY?si=n_qRsggcKRYKpdWr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See how NTT DATA uses agent\u2011based data and AI platforms to scale enterprise intelligence<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also recently announced <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/announcing-the-responses-api-and-computer-using-agent-in-azure-ai-foundry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two more capabilities to empower businesses<\/a> to deploy AI not just as an assistant, but as an active digital workforce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Responses API<\/strong> is a powerful tool enabling AI-powered apps to seamlessly retrieve information, process data, and then act.
