Summary: Microsoft launches Agent 365 and AI Foundry

Why It Matters: Microsoft is shifting its focus from simple AI chat to "agentic" workflows. This means they are giving businesses tools to build autonomous AI workers that can handle complex tasks across different industries.

What Changed:

• Added Agent 365, a new "control plane" for managing AI agents.
• Rebranded and expanded developer tools under the Microsoft Foundry name.
• Introduced a massive library of industry-specific AI solutions for sectors like Defense, Energy, and Healthcare.
• Added a "Frontier Firm" framework to guide CEOs on AI transformation.
• Published new customer success stories featuring AI agents at companies like KONE and Levi Strauss & Co.
• Updated the homepage to focus almost entirely on AI tools rather than general software and hardware.
