At Microsoft Ignite in November, we introduced Frontier Transformation — a holistic reimagining of business aligning AI with human ambition to help organizations achieve their highest aspirations and growth potential. While AI Transformation centered on efficiency and productivity, Frontier Transformation challenges us to do more for humanity by democratizing intelligence to unlock creativity and innovation for organizations and people around the world.
Across industries, our customers are leading the way to becoming Frontier; sharing three common traits anchored in a foundation of Intelligence + Trust. AI in the flow of human ambition, putting Copilots and agents directly in the tools people use; and ubiquitous innovation, empowering the maker in every role. These capabilities are served through Microsoft’s new intelligence layer: Work IQ, which understands how people work; Fabric IQ, which provides a trusted semantic layer for reasoning over an organization’s data; and Foundry IQ, the world’s leading AI app server powering safe, scalable agent experiences. Together, these capabilities put the “I” back in AI by grounding Copilots and agents in an organization’s own data, logic and workflows to fully understand operations and drive decisions that matter most. The third trait is observability at every layer of the stack; ensuring trust, safety and reliable outcomes. As the control plane to observe, govern and secure all AI artifacts, Agent 365 provides a unified view of every AI agent running in an organization’s environment — whether built on Microsoft’s platforms or others.
