We wanted to share a mixture of our strategy and vision around enabling our employees to deploy agents, and to share stories that feature some of the most promising agents that our employees and teams have built and deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also understand that it can feel challenging to know where to start\u2014it was for us. Here are some things we learned along the way that should help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Governing agents is complex, and dependent on the overall AI maturity of your organization.<\/strong> Start slowly to build that maturity before unleashing too many new agents in your environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>A strong policy framework is the foundation.<\/strong> Lean on existing app governance policies, then layer agent-specific structures on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Invest in data infrastructure and AI platforms.<\/strong> Building robust data infrastructure ensures your organization is prepared to leverage AI, and supports scalable, innovative, and secure AI-driven solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Develop a building environment strategy.<\/strong> Decide what scenarios match up with specific environments and make the right environments available to the relevant employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Global regulations around categories like privacy, security, and responsibility provide a good baseline for establishing governance policies.<\/strong> Set relevant teams to work thinking through these regulations and incorporate their insights into your agent governance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Foster a culture of creativity and teamwork.<\/strong> Champion an AI-forward culture where innovation and collaboration drive the adoption of agentic AI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Develop AI expertise through training and development.<\/strong> As agentic AI transforms workflows and business outcomes across every industry, upskilling will empower your teams to navigate the rapid advances of AI, drive innovation, and ensure your organization stays competitive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Align AI initiatives with strategy.<\/strong> Ensuring AI initiatives align with business goals maximizes their impact and positions your organization to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of agentic AI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Implement ethical AI practices.<\/strong> You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/rai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft\u2019s Responsible AI principles<\/a> as a guide. Adopting ethical AI practices builds trust, ensures responsible innovation, and prepares your organization to navigate the evolving landscape as AI becomes central to business operations and decision-making.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c0392459 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7db9d80f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Try-it-out-badge.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19492\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:75px;height:75px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Try-it-out-badge.png 190w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Try-it-out-badge-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-xl-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-24);margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-24)\">Try it out<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-no-bullets\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enablement.microsoft.com\/en-us\/ai-agents\/?OCID=InsideTrack_Product_10790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get started with AI agents with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and Copilot Studio.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c0392459 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7db9d80f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Related-links-badge.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19491\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:75px;height:75px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Related-links-badge.png 190w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Related-links-badge-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-xl-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-24);margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-24)\">Related links<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-20)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/training\/paths\/work-power-virtual-agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn how to create and publish agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365-copilot\/extensibility\/create-deploy-agents-sdk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find out how to create and deploy agents with Microsoft 365 Agents SDK.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/ai-agents-for-beginners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out these 12 lessons to get started building AI agents.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Microsoft, we are enabling our employees, teams, and organizations to build AI agents to help them complete important tasks\u2014from individual employees in the personal productivity tenant all the way to enterprise-wide agents that are available to everyone.
