Microsoft Foundry in Microsoft Teams

Your AI. Your data. Your decision.

Agents from Microsoft Foundry answer enquiries in the WebChat channel. They run in your own tenant and the team stays in control.

Microsoft Foundry

When you want more than a standard bot

With Foundry, the model, tools and data can be freely chosen. The Foundry model catalogue is growing continuously and remains open to new models.

Foundry is not always necessary: view Copilot

Foundry is worthwhile if

  • you want your own AI model
  • the agent is to work with its own tools
  • several systems and data are to be combined

What is included

Control instead of a black box

Free choice of model

Copilot Studio, Foundry, Azure OpenAI or your own models, with no vendor lock-in.

A human can take over at any time

The bot can be deactivated per conversation.

Traceable

Replies can be traced via the Microsoft audit logs.

Your own tenant

No sharing with third-party AI systems.

How to get started

From idea to agent in the channel

Your own AI is an advanced setup and can be activated retrospectively at any time.

    You define the model, tools and data yourself.

  2. Connect the agent to WebChat

    The agent replies directly in the responsible Teams channel.

Questions about Foundry

Is Foundry always needed for AI?
Not always. A lot can already be done with Copilot Studio and the Power Platform.
Does WebChat operate the AI?
No. The agent belongs to the company and runs in its own tenant.
What does AI operation cost on top?
In addition to the WebChat licence, Power Automate Premium and Azure pay-as-you-go are required.
Can a human take over?
Yes. The bot can be deactivated per conversation, and automatic reminders alert the team to this.
