The evolution of AI is moving at lightning speed. It’s time to think beyond simple Copilots and start building your own digital colleagues. Ryan Skarin wrote about how to get started with Microsoft’s AI stack, from out-of-the-box productivity with M365 Copilot to building code-first, enterprise-grade agents with Azure AI Foundry. https://lnkd.in/gUU7DpVm #AIEvolution #Microsoft #AIStack #FutureofWork #TechInsights

Unpack what truly defines an AI agent by exploring its core components, design considerations, and available technologies, from Copilot Studio to Azure AI Foundry, while learning when to build an agent, how to do it responsibly, and when simpler automation may be enough. 🎤 Kevin McDonnell, MVP Learn more: https://ow.ly/6s8650WACL0 Or watch the video to learn more 👇 #ESPC25 #Microsoft #Microsoft365 #TechConference #EventInDublin

i recently attended the microsoft ai tour. the keynote was 🔥. seeing a full case study play out live with microsoft’s ai tools showed how fast everything is moving. i went to a session on ai factories with nvidia + azure. they showed how enterprises can combine agentic + physical intelligence to scale operations. the coolest part was nvidia omniverse simulating real-world scenarios with insane accuracy. another highlight was github copilot as an ai agent. beyond autocomplete, it planned and executed multi-step dev tasks, almost like a teammate embedded in your workflow. overall takeaway: ai is being infused everywhere in the microsoft ecosystem to make businesses faster and smarter. the future feels closer than ever. #MicrosoftAITour #AI #Azure #Copilot #NVIDIA

Upgrade your voice agent with Azure AI Voice Live API. Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Voice Live API, which enables real-time speech-to-speech conversational experience through a unified API powered by generative AI models. With Voice Live API, developers can easily voice-enable any agent built with the Azure AI Foundry Agent Service. Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, enables the operation of agents that make decisions, invoke tools, and participate in workflows across development, deployment, and production. By eliminating the need to stitch together disparate components, Voice Live API offers a low latency, end-to-end solution for voice-driven experiences. As always, a diverse range of customers provided valuable feedback during the preview period. Along with announcing general availability, we are also taking this opportunity to address that feedback and improve the API. Following are some of... #techcommunity #azure #microsoft https://lnkd.in/gSbKm9wA

Microsoft Unveils Agent Framework in Azure AI Foundry, Streamlining Multi-Agent AI for Enterprise Scale Microsoft is arming developers with a potent new toolkit for the agentic AI surge, announcing the public preview of the open-source Microsoft Agent Framework within Azure AI Foundry a unified platform designed to simplify building, observing, and governing complex multi-agent systems at enterprise levels.

Keeping Agents on Track: Introducing Task Adherence in Azure AI Foundry. AI agents are no longer just answering questions. They can plan, reason, and act. A single agent can fetch information from APIs, trigger workflows, or even make transactions. Multiple agents can work together in orchestration to complete more complex goals. That shift from chatbots to agents is exciting, but it also introduces a new challenge: task drift. When an agent drifts, even slightly, the results can be costly or unsafe. Think about an assistant that ignores budget limits while booking travel, or a multi-agent workflow where a single misaligned step cascades into incorrect outputs downstream. These are not edge cases. They are the kinds of problems developers face when building agentic systems at scale. To make it easier to prevent this, Microsoft is releasing Task Adherence, coming soon to public preview through the Azure AI Content Safety API... #techcommunity #azure #microsoft https://lnkd.in/g8sKVpi3

AMA: Azure AI Foundry Voice Live API — Build Smarter, Faster Voice Agents. Sure! Here's a blog post tailored for AI engineers and developers, designed to promote the upcoming AMA on Azure AI Foundry Voice Live API: Join us LIVE in the Azure AI Foundry Discord on the 14th October, 2025, 10am PT to learn more about Voice Live API  Voice is no longer a novelty, it's the next-gen interface between humans and machines. From automotive assistants to educational tutors, voice-driven agents are reshaping how we interact with technology. But building seamless, real-time voice experiences has often meant stitching together a patchwork of services: STT, GenAI, TTS, avatars, and more. Until now. Introducing Azure AI Foundry Voice Live API Launched into general availability on October 1, 2025, the Azure AI Foundry Voice Live API is a game-changer for developers building voice-enabled agents.
