About this tag
Agentic AI on WindowsForum.com covers the practical realities of AI agents in enterprise and development settings. Discussions highlight governance gaps, such as an Ontario county's undisclosed Microsoft Copilot pilot, and security incidents like an AI agent canceling a gym reservation. Infrastructure concerns include Azure research showing agent workloads stress CPUs and memory, not just GPUs, and VS Code agent sandboxing requiring WSL2 on Windows. Product evaluations, like Info-Tech's ranking of Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents, and model upgrades that can break workflows are also examined. The tag emphasizes that agentic AI demands careful oversight, robust testing, and realistic infrastructure planning beyond simple model swaps.
