Azure’s argument is stark but simple: it’s no longer a question of whether teams can build AI agents—the real battle is how quickly and reliably they can move from prototype to enterprise-ready deployment. Background The pace of agent development has accelerated from lab experiments to...

Microsoft’s Windows lead has just sketched a future in which the operating system becomes ambient, multimodal and agentic — able to listen, see, and act — a shift powered by a new class of on‑device AI and tight hardware integration that will reshape how organisations manage and secure Windows...

The asset‑management tech beat has been busy this week: Hebbia announced an integration with Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry, Anduin unveiled an Engagement Hub aimed at speeding GP fundraising and LP conversion, Alchelyst confirmed it will leverage cloud-native tools (including Finbourne’s stack)...

AudioCodes' Voca Conversational Interaction Center (CIC) has been certified under Microsoft’s Teams Unify model and immediately leveraged that validation to claim another industry accolade — winning UC Today’s 2025 Best Microsoft Teams Contact Center award — a development that tightens the...

Microsoft and the NFL have quietly but decisively moved a decade‑long sideline relationship into an explicit “AI‑first” operational phase by rolling Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI services, and a refreshed fleet of Surface Copilot+ devices into the league’s Sideline Viewing System, scouting...

Microsoft’s Copilot has just taken a major step: OpenAI’s GPT‑5 is now embedded across the Copilot family—consumer Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry—bringing real‑time model routing, deeper reasoning for complex tasks, and notably larger context...

Microsoft’s rapid move to fold OpenAI’s GPT‑5 into Copilot is this week’s defining platform shift — but it arrived alongside a cluster of AI-driven developments that matter to every IT leader: workforce disruption from automation, a surge in deepfake executive‑impersonation scams, contract...

OpenAI’s GPT‑5 has landed inside Microsoft’s Copilot family, but the change feels more like a careful upgrade than a dramatic reinvention — a set of real-world refinements that tilt Copilot toward deeper reasoning, longer context, and smarter routing rather than a radical, immediately...

The NFL and Microsoft this week turned a decade‑long sideline hardware relationship into an explicit, multiyear push to make generative AI a routine part of game‑day operations — equipping the league’s Sideline Viewing System with Copilot‑enabled Surface devices, piloting Azure AI Foundry...

The NFL’s multiyear extension with Microsoft marks a decisive shift: Copilot and Azure AI are no longer pilot projects or back‑office curiosities — they are being embedded across the league’s Sideline Viewing System, scouting workflows, stadium operations, and club business functions in a bid to...

Microsoft’s decade‑long Surface presence on NFL sidelines has quietly evolved into an AI‑first operational program: the league’s Sideline Viewing System (SVS) has been upgraded with more than 2,500 Surface Copilot+ PCs and integrated Copilot and Azure AI tooling to give coaches, scouts and club...

Agents are only as capable as the tools you give them—and only as trustworthy as the governance behind those tools, and Microsoft’s new Agent Factory guidance in Azure AI Foundry makes that dual imperative the organizing principle for enterprise-grade agentic AI. Background / Overview The Agent...

The City of Cornwall’s recent move from a 12‑year unresolved service request to a centralized, AI‑ready case‑management platform is a lesson in pragmatic municipal digital transformation: start with a real, measurable pain point, use the tools already in place, and design governance and...

Microsoft has added two new reasoning agents, Researcher and Analyst, to the Microsoft 365 Copilot family — purpose-built AI assistants that lean on OpenAI’s latest o3 model family to perform multi-step research and data analysis across both web and enterprise data sources, and that will be...

Microsoft has flipped a switch that changes how the company—and millions of its customers—will think about productivity, development, and cloud AI: OpenAI’s newly announced GPT‑5 family is being rolled out across Microsoft’s Copilot portfolio, GitHub, Visual Studio, and Azure AI Foundry in what...

Microsoft’s day‑one switch to OpenAI’s GPT‑5 across Copilot, Microsoft 365, GitHub, Visual Studio, and Azure AI Foundry represents the most comprehensive AI product overhaul in the company’s history — a coordinated, ecosystem‑wide move that folds a new family of reasoning models into the fabric...

Microsoft’s decision to bake OpenAI’s GPT‑5 into the heart of its consumer, developer, and enterprise products is one of the most consequential platform moves in recent memory — a coordinated, cross‑product rollout that promises deeper reasoning, longer context handling, and an automated...

OpenAI’s ChatGPT‑5 has arrived as a clear pivot from incremental “smarter chat” upgrades toward models built to reason—and the shift is already reshaping how Microsoft, developers, and everyday Windows users experience AI assistants on the desktop and in the cloud. Background: what landed and...

OpenAI’s GPT‑5 arrived as a clear strategic push to make the next generation of large language models the default intelligence layer for consumer and enterprise apps — a unifying architecture that promises deeper reasoning, much larger context, and built‑in routing between fast and “thinking”...

Dreamspace’s public beta marks a bold attempt to collapse months of engineering work into minutes of creative work by combining Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Space and Time’s Proof‑of‑SQL verifiable data layer, and the Base Layer‑2 for on‑chain deployment—positioning itself as a no‑code AI app...
