Azure AI Foundry can harness the power of AI innovation and make it work for your customers. Here’s a look at some of the most important new capabilities Azure AI Foundry announced in March. These innovations can improve operational efficiency and maximize investments, keeping your enterprise clients ahead of the AI curve.
Expanding AI Agent Service Knowledge Tools
Microsoft Fabric data agents were introduced at the FabCon 2025 Conference. These agents allow developers using Azure AI Agent Service to connect customized, conversational agents created in Microsoft Fabric. These agents unlock insights from various data sources, enabling your clients to make more informed, data-driven decisions. Integrating Fabric's advanced enterprise data analysis with Azure AI Foundry’s GenAI enables developers to create custom conversational AI agents that leverage domain expertise.
Microsoft also introduced the Responses API, and a groundbreaking AI model called the Computer-Using Agent (CUA). The Responses API simplifies complex tasks for AI-powered applications, improving operational efficiency. CUA is a breakthrough AI model that can navigate software interfaces, automate workflows, and even adapt to changes in real time. This means businesses can effortlessly integrate disparate systems, driving down costs and increasing agility.
Enhancing GenAI Efficiency and Performance
As your clients navigate the expansive possibilities of generative AI (GenAI), they need tools that optimize performance and cost. Azure AI Foundry offers comprehensive governance tools and controls to monitor and manage costs, compliance, performance, and more. Microsoft also added NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA AgentIQ toolkit for enhanced efficiency and cost optimization.
The newly announced Provisioned (PTU) spillover feature for Azure OpenAI Service further ensures that AI applications maintain peak performance, even during high usage periods. PTU spillover automatically redirects excess traffic from provisioned deployments to maintain service operations and crucial processes.
Making AI Transformation Accessible to All
Don’t forget about accessibility! Microsoft’s commitment to inclusivity seamlessly integrates into the Azure AI Foundry development process, making advanced technology available for everyone. Azure AI Foundry is your partner in driving AI transformation. By engaging with these tools, you can better support your clients and forge a path for your success in this dynamic landscape.
