Microsoft introduced Foundry IQ, a platform aimed at simplifying knowledge management for agent development. The platform enhances retrieval capabilities and integrates multiple data sources, streamlining the process for developers building intelligent agents.
Microsoft has launched Foundry IQ, a platform designed to help developers build intelligent agent fleets more efficiently. The platform addresses common challenges such as stability, scalability, data access, and answer quality in agent development.
The Foundry IQ Serverless feature, currently in public preview, provides instant context retrieval with a zero-cost scaling model. This approach enables developers to access knowledge bases quickly without traditional provisioning complexities.
New data sources have been added, such as Work IQ and Azure SQL, allowing for seamless grounding of agents without custom integrations.
Web IQ is now incorporated, enabling agents to access real-time web information while respecting publisher preferences. This feature boasts low latency and maintains zero data retention.
Recent improvements in the agentic retrieval engine enhance the quality of answers across varying datasets while minimizing token consumption.
Foundry IQ introduces security updates that include better controls for encryption, permissions synchronization, and sensitivity-label governance. These updates ensure compliance with enterprise policies as content is integrated into agents.
