Ground Your Foundry Agents with Work IQ + Govern with Agent 365

An agent that knows nothing about your organization is only half an agent. In this session, we connect a Microsoft Foundry agent to Work IQ via MCP - the organizational intelligence layer that grounds agents in your real business context: emails, meetings, files, Teams, SharePoint - all in real time, with user permissions respected on every call. In this session, we'll cover: - The Work IQ architecture: the three layers - Data / Memory / Inference, and the 10 generic MCP tools that replace hundreds of connectors. - How to connect a Foundry agent to Work IQ via MCP, with agentic identity (Entra ID) and the On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flow. - Governance powered by Agent 365: centralized control over MCP servers, full call traceability, and runtime policy enforcement. - Side-by-side evaluations: an agent grounded in Work IQ context vs. a blind agent - with scores that prove the difference. - A live demo taking grounding all the way to action, with end-to-end observability. Key takeaways: - Learn what Work IQ is and how its Data / Memory / Inference layers ground a Foundry agent in real organizational context. - See a real example of grounding in action: identity, permissions, and OBO flow connecting an agent to live business data via MCP. - Understand how Agent 365 governs agents at runtime: centralized MCP control, traceability, and policy enforcement. Key benefits of attending: - Know the architecture: which layers and tools ground an agent, and how governance fits around them. - Learn from real evaluations: what a grounded agent gains over a blind one, with scores to back it up.
