agentic workflows

Amdocs’ new partnership with Microsoft, unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2026, formally packages the vendor’s agentic operating system (aOS) and its Agentic Services with Microsoft’s Foundry, Azure OpenAI models, GitHub Copilot and Fabric IQ to deliver an agent-led, AI-accelerated path for...

Microsoft’s AI message in London was unmistakable: make Copilot the interface for work, turn Microsoft 365 into the knowledge substrate for agentic AI, and give developers a full-stack platform to build, tune and govern enterprise agents at scale. Background The London leg of Microsoft’s AI Tour...

Google’s new flagship, Gemini 3.1 Pro, arrives as a clear statement of intent: ship a model tuned for complex, multimodal reasoning and real-world project synthesis, and do it at scale. The release, published by Google DeepMind and summarized in Google’s product blog, positions 3.1 Pro as an...

GitHub has opened a technical preview of Agentic Workflows — a new way to run AI agents inside GitHub Actions that promises to extend repository automation from deterministic CI/CD tasks into a continuous AI paradigm where agents act on events, triage issues, review pull requests, and even...

Claude Opus 4.6 arriving in Microsoft Foundry marks a pivotal moment for enterprise AI—bringing Anthropic’s latest reasoning-focused model into a production-ready, governance-first platform that aims to let organizations move from experiments to long‑running, agentic workflows with confidence...

GitHub has opened a technical preview of the Copilot SDK, a developer-focused runtime that lets you embed the same agentic execution loop that powers GitHub Copilot CLI directly into any application, removing much of the plumbing traditionally required to build multi-turn AI agents. Background...

Overcut’s approach to agentic automation is a study in restraint: deliver autonomous, multi‑step workflows that actually fit inside enterprise operational boundaries rather than promising unbounded autonomy. The company builds its execution plane on Azure primitives—AKS for orchestration, Azure...

Microsoft’s cloud catalog expanded this week with the public‑preview arrival of two DeepSeek reasoning models — DeepSeek‑V3.2 and DeepSeek‑V3.2‑Speciale — a pair engineered for long‑horizon, agentic workflows and heavy multi‑step reasoning. The models are listed in Azure’s Foundry model catalog...

Harvard Business School’s Digital Data Design Institute (D^3) and Microsoft have recruited a high-profile cohort of 14 global companies to launch the Frontier Firm AI Initiative — a multi-year, field‑based research and executive upskilling programme designed to turn human-led, agent‑operated AI...

AI is turning Excel from a gatekept specialist tool into a practical, learnable application—one where novices can move from confusion to confident analysis in a fraction of the time previously required. Overview The last two years have seen a rapid infusion of generative and context-aware AI...

Microsoft has pushed a first public look at Visual Studio 2026 — billed internally as Visual Studio 18 and distributed through a new "Insiders" channel — and the headline is simple: Microsoft has folded much deeper AI into the IDE while polishing the look, settings, and model control surface...

Microsoft’s Visual Studio has reached a new milestone for AI-assisted development: Model Context Protocol (MCP) support is now generally available in the IDE, enabling developers to plug Copilot and other agentic tools directly into local and remote services with first-class configuration...

The annual Build 2025 conference marked a pivotal moment in Microsoft’s evolving AI strategy for Windows. At the heart of the announcements was a commitment to transform Windows into a seamlessly AI-integrated ecosystem, with a particular focus on democratizing access to the machine learning...
