How a Microsoft Teams-native agent, built on Microsoft Foundry, helps leaders set goals, keep momentum, and deliver outcomes
In many organizations, growth relies on delegation. Keeping goals clear, ownership visible, and progress on track is hard. Plansom makes it easy. With the new Plansom Agent for Microsoft Teams, leaders can define SMART goals in minutes, automation drives follow-through, and real-time updates keep everyone aligned—without leaving Teams.
Built on Microsoft Foundry’s intelligent foundation
To embed effortless delegation where work already happens, Plansom needed to reach users at scale, protect enterprise data, and make AI insights proactive. Azure delivered that foundation. Using Microsoft Foundry SDKs and services, Plansom runs natively in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem—secure, compliant, and continuously improving as Microsoft Foundry evolves.
Native to Teams, designed for adoption
The agent uses the Teams SDK for a smooth, interactive experience—think AI Coach, Goal Progress, Daily Updates, and Bottlenecks surfaced through adaptive cards—while the Microsoft Foundry SDK powers the orchestration behind every response. The result feels built-in, so teams adopt it fast.
Context awareness through Model Context Protocol
Plansom’s contextual intelligence is enabled by Model Context Protocol (MCP). It understands intent, retrieves live data, and responds precisely—connecting securely to Azure Database for PostgreSQL with Microsoft Entra ID for background authentication. Running on Microsoft Azure OpenAI, the agent provides natural, grounded dialogue that helps teams move from plans to progress.
“It’s a strong example of how startups use Azure’s AI stack to meet customers where they work. Embedding goal alignment and progress inside Microsoft Teams helps organizations focus on outcomes.”
—Sherry List, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft for Startups
Why it matters: Delegation that scales
Plansom gives leaders and teams a clear structure for setting goals, assigning ownership, and seeing progress unfold in real time. AI assistance turns objectives into measurable steps, while automation keeps updates and reporting effortless. Everyone knows what matters, what’s next, and who’s responsible—so momentum builds instead of stalling.
“Plansom makes delegation easy. By bringing our technology into Teams, leaders get visibility into ownership and teams keep moving without the status chase.”
—Anders Schönberg, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Plansom
The future of work, built together
Delegation will always be central to results. Plansom and Microsoft are working to make it simpler, faster, and smarter—so teams can focus less on managing work and more on delivering it.
With the Plansom Agent for Teams, powered by Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio, and Microsoft Foundry SDKs, users can plan, delegate, and track progress directly where collaboration happens.
