Model orchestration
Microsoft Foundry provides a governed layer for selecting, configuring, and orchestrating AI models within enterprise applications — abstracting away much of the infrastructure complexity of deploying large language models securely.
Connecting to enterprise data
Foundry-based applications integrate with Azure AI Search, enterprise APIs, and Dataverse to ground AI capabilities in an organization's actual systems and content rather than general-purpose training data alone.
Agent patterns
Beyond simple question answering, Foundry supports AI agents that can execute multi-step tasks — retrieving information, calling APIs, and completing actions within defined guardrails.
Governance and monitoring
Enterprise AI applications require visibility into usage, cost, and output quality. Foundry's governance tooling supports the monitoring and access control regulated organizations need before deploying AI broadly.
