Tuesdays with Artificial intelligence - TWAi Meetup Podcast April 2026

Microsoft’s AI stack is evolving from chat-based assistance into agents that can understand business context, work with enterprise data, respond to events, and automate real processes.
The conversation looks at where Microsoft 365 Copilot agents fit for everyday productivity, how Copilot Studio enables more autonomous behavior with event triggers and agent flows, and where Microsoft Foundry Agent Service fits for building and running more advanced enterprise agents. Microsoft’s current platform direction clearly spans all three layers: Copilot agents inside Microsoft 365, autonomous capabilities in Copilot Studio, and managed agent hosting in Foundry Agent Service.

Key Points:

• Where we are at AI
  

• How Microsoft 365 Copilot agents are extending AI across Copilot Chat, Outlook, Teams, Word, and the broader Microsoft 365 experience.
  
• How Copilot Studio enables autonomous behavior through event triggers, tools, and agent flows.
  
• Where Microsoft Foundry Agent Service fits for building, deploying, and scaling more advanced production agents.
  
• How corporate data fragmentation impacts AI agents implementation
  
  
  

• What separates a chatbot from a trusted enterprise agent: grounding, governance, orchestration, and measurable outcomes.
