Microsoft has shown how Foundry agents can move from one-pass prompts to the Copilot harness for planning, looping, subagents and report completion. Hosted agents can also run third-party harnesses with Entra Agent ID, private networking, controlled egress, telemetry, governed toolboxes and organisation-specific benchmark-driven optimisation. It targets production-scale enterprise use.
Microsoft is making the multi-model harness behind Copilot Code, Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot, the CLI and Visual Studio Code available through Microsoft Foundry. The managed orchestration layer supports more than 20 frontier models, bring-your-own-key access, MCP, agent skills and plugins, while Microsoft runs the agent loop and sandbox.
Microsoft’s September Copilot Studio update adds public-preview app creation alongside workflows and agents. Makers can generate interfaces from natural-language requirements, retain code access and deploy through a managed runtime with identity, governed data, lifecycle controls, Git-backed versioning and central visibility across Microsoft’s connected agent-building surfaces.
