Microsoft rolls-out Next-Gen Features for Copilot & Azure AI Foundry
Microsoft celebrated its 50th anniversary on April 4, 2025. It announced significant updates and enhancements in its AI products, Azure AI Foundry and Copilot. Microsoft’s focus on designing AI and reshaping its combination of automation, personalisation, and enterprise AI solutions are reflected in the new products. Microsoft’s Copilot and Azure AI Foundry can retain relevant information about previous user sessions, thanks to improved memory capacity. With this capability, customers can create more in-depth customer profiles along with responses to their interests as users. Customers can have an AI companion who knows their personal requirements. The second significant update enhanced Copilot’s automated capabilities. Basic chat commands allow users to get Copilot to purchase tickets for events or make dinner reservations just in the background. Microsoft also previewed appearance customisations, again extending experience personalisation for Copilot. Azure AI Foundry saw significant improvement in the facilitation area for developers in terms of constructing secure, advanced AI solutions. The AI Red Teaming Agent, which was rolled out in a public preview, demonstrated natural language techniques in identifying safety risks in AI models. The feature helps developers create safe systems by proactively excluding threats ahead of time before deployment. Additionally, the Semantic Kernel Agent Framework is now in general availability as well, allowing developers to change multi-agent systems with fewer lines of code. The framework paves the way for a more pronounced agent coordination, with minimal developer complexity. Microsoft has incorporated evaluations into the AI programme to provide top-quality risk analysis ensuring trust and compliance in the AI. These updates along with Microsoft’s overall strategy, are introducing AI into its entire platform. This includes consumer-facing offerings such as Codex and Copilot, such as products for businesses, like Azure AI Foundry. (Source: Zawya) To read more on Technology, head to the link.
