Microsoft Build 2025 introduced how Microsoft reimaginates the life cycle of software development Strong new abilities This redefines what is possible with AI.
From the streamlining of business workflows to acceleration of scientific discovery, AI agents transform how developers create and Howisses work.
- 15 million developers They use Github CopilotUsing functions such as Agent and code control, to process repeated tasks, allowing them to focus on the fun and creative part of the software development.
- HUDREDS thousand customers They use BUPILOT Microsoft 365 Help research, brainstorming and solving development, which makes it possible to increase efficiency.
- More than 230,000 organizations—Cluding 90% of Fortune 500—Dy used Microsoft Braid studio Creating agents and automating AI to improve productivity and expansion of business quickly.
- More than 11,000 AI models Are now available through Azure AI FoundryIncluding models of hosted and partner models. This extensive AI model library provides unrivaled resources for organizations to innovate and scalance their AI solutions.
In this edition of FYAI, a series where we dive deep on AI trends with Microsoft leaders, we hear from Yin Arenas, Vice President of Azure AI Foundry, which leads work in Microsoft to seize every development to shape the future with generative AI using breakthrough agents.
In this issue and answers, Yin shares her knowledge of moving landscape AI, included Whysse stuck in the “Proof of Concept” and how Azure AI foundry may encounter organizations where they are and move their AI projects to the next level.
What shifts in the AI landscape do you see that it is fundamentally changing, how people – and organizations – build and scale AI?
We see how we see a deep shift from AI as a research experience on and as a basic business ability. What is exciting – and challenging – is that the organization no longer asks: “Can we build it?” But “How do we build it responsibly, on a scale and with a real impact?” This shift requires new tools, new thinking and new ways to work across teams. At Microsoft, we focus on making AI more accessible and inclusive – that everyone, from developers to domain experts, can contribute to building this matter. It is not just a technique- it is about the authorization of people to solve real problems with AI.
Why is it still difficult for business to move from experience with AI -a what needs to be changed to unlock another wave of value?

Many organizations are stuck in the “Concept Proof” phase because the jump into production is complex. It is not just a choice of the right model – it is about its integration into the system, that it is safe and responsible and aligned with business goals. What is missing is a cohesive approach to the end-to-end, which brings the right instruments, governments and cooperation in a friendly developer. This is where the Azure AI-foundry is designed to help the team not only to move quickly, but by providing the End-to-End cohesive platform, and offers traceability across, models and running behavior. We facilitate and less complex for developers create applications, and at the same time we give the decision -making traders the ability to see how these applications work, measure their king and meet the requirements for compliance. To unlock another wave of value, we need to make more cooperating, more transparent and results.
How does Azure AI Foundry help to overcome this gap – and how does it differ from other approaches?
The Azure AI foundry is built to meet organizations where they are – whether they are starting or scaling AI across the business. It combines the best of Microsoft AI capital from basic models to orchestration and monitoring on a single platform. What Azure Aitre Ai Foundry is separating is not just that it is a building in decades of world research, but it is a bilt with people in the center, so Whiteher is a data scientist, product manager, engineer or business leader, our solutions work for you. He has also baked in the responsible AI from the beginning of the integration of tools, from testing to monitoring to managing public affairs that support the entire life cycle.
For whom is Foundry Azure AI, for which it is built and how does the cross-function teams-the scientists from data from the creator of decision-making together with decision-makers support?
Azure AI Foundry is designed for anyone who wants to move its AI projects to the next level – the top is part of a large business, starting or software development. It offers access to front border models, integratic orchestration frames, open protocols for cooperation with multiple agents and provides a native tool for observability in a safe, controlled environment. Whether it is a call center optimization, data analysis, improved product search, or workflow automation, azure AI foundry pulls everhythesing-modes, tools and agents-in one user-friendly platform. Thanks to instruments such as GitHub, Visual Studio and Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry makes it easier for developers, data scientists, IT professionals and creators of decision to shorten their way out of the production.
Where do you see the Azure AI foundries that already have an impact – and where can customers unlock?
As a central hub for the construction, orchestration and management of the AI solution, Azure AI foundry remains the highlight of our AI platform strategy. The developers are now used at more than 70,000 Companies for enterprises and software development – including Atomicwork, Epic, Fujitsu, Gainsight, H&R Block and LG Electronics – to design, customize and manage their AI applications and agents. And only six months of more than 10,000 organizations used Azure AI Foundry Service to build, deploy and scaling their agents. Developers suggest that they act, understand, take initiative and provide measurable business results.
HeinekenFor example, used Azure AI Foundry To build a platform for multiple agents, “Hoppy” calls to help use the approaches and tools of access throughout society in their native language. Their implementation of Alrena saved thousands of hours and reduced the tasks that ICCE lasted 20 minutes for only 20 seconds.
Fujitsu Evaluated Azure Ai Foundry Service Agent To automatically create a design. This increased productivity by 67%, allowing their team to focus on customer commitment. AGE AI records existing Microsoft tools known to approximately 38,000 employees, loads scattered knowledge and Lysys basis for wider AI-Powred innovations.

What makes you most excited about what happens next – for the Azure AI foundry and how people can again introduce the way they work and create with AI?
What makes me most excited about what will continue for the Azure AI foundry is how it unlocks a new era of creativity and authorization -for development, but for everyone. We move for the idea of AI as the tools you use on and as a copilot you build. Azure AI Foundry helps people imagine and create agents who understand their goals, adapt to their workflow and evolve with their needs.
This shift -the writing code on orchestrating intelligence -is deep. This means that a product manager, a trader or a Frontline worker can shape how AI works for them without having to be an expert in machine learning. It is about bringing the power of AI in the hands of many, not few.
And most of all is the inspiration is that we just got a game. Agents who build people today solve a real problem. Automation of complex processes, accelerating knowledge and relaxation of time for more meaningful work. But the agents of tomorrow? They will be co -workers in the field of creativity, partners in the field of problem solving and catalysts for innovations, which we have not even dreamed of.
This is the future I see – and is now being built, people who reimagine what is possible with AI.
Design, customize and manage Ai Agents on a scale
Through leaders such as Yina Arenas, the vision of Microsoft for the future AI is inspiring and deeply focused on humans. With platforms, such as Azure AI Foundry, we understand a new era where AI becomes not only a tool, but a real collaborator, who is regardless of technical expertise, for innovation and solving problems in the real world. At the Azure AI foundry, the AI potential is unlocked everywhere, causing a wave of transformation and an unlimited possibility.
