Foundry IQ for Multi-Source AI Knowledge Bases

Ground your AI agents on your organization's knowledge, pulling from multiple sources at once, connecting the dots automatically, and getting more accurate, context-rich answers without doing manual orchestration with Foundry IQ in Microsoft Foundry. Navigate complex, distributed data across Azure stores, SharePoint, OneLake, MCP servers, and even the web, all through a single knowledge base that handles query planning and iteration for you.

Reuse the Azure AI Search assets you already have, build new knowledge bases with minimal setup, and control how much reasoning effort your agents apply. As you develop, you can rely on iterative retrieval only when it improves results, saving time, tokens, and development complexity.

Pablo Castro, Azure AI Search CVP and Distinguished Engineer, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how to build smarter, more capable AI agents, with higher-quality grounded answers and less engineering overhead.
