In Microsoft Digital, the company\u2019s IT organization, our journey to agentic AI has been an evolution\u2014one that began with early experimentation in AI-powered productivity and has grown into a coordinated effort to enable intelligent, scalable solutions across the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As AI capabilities advanced, we saw an opportunity to move beyond individual productivity gains and toward something more transformative: Empowering our developers to build intelligent agents that can automate workflows, streamline operations, and create new business value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realizing this vision required more than new tools. We needed to rethink how we foster development, govern innovation, and operate at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made a lot of progress enabling our developers to build agents that make us more productive. We\u2019re Customer Zero at Microsoft, which means we\u2019re the first to deploy and use the technology and services that we later sell to our customers. Those learnings give us a unique perspective and story to share about the journey our developers have been on with AI and agents.\u201d<\/p>\nBrian Fielder, vice president, Microsoft Digital<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re sharing the foundation we built that supports this shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re driving employees across Microsoft to create and use AI agents\u2014from simple, task-focused solutions to enterprise-grade applications available across the company. It’s all supported by a secure, governed, and extensible platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Microsoft Build underway<\/a>, we\u2019re sharing what it really takes to move from experimentation to impact. Through this collection of stories and resources, we highlight how we\u2019re empowering our developers to build with agentic AI\u2014from establishing governance and platform capabilities to driving adoption and delivering real-world outcomes. Our goal is to provide practical insights you can use to accelerate your own AI journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope you find the journey we\u2019ve been on practical and useful,\u201d Fielder says. \u201cWhen it comes to agents, we\u2019re accelerating fast and scaling at an enterprise level. As our story continues to evolve, we look forward to sharing it with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidance for developers: How we manage agentic AI at Microsoft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These articles outline our vision for agentic AI, showing how we\u2019re building a secure, governed, and extensible foundation for AI agents\u2014from Work IQ and Copilot Studio to Agent 365, Azure DevOps, and Model Context Protocol\u2014so developers can create scalable, high-value solutions across the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
