Microsoft

Microsoft's builder-shaped AI surfaces — the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit (the VS Code + CLI scaffolder for declarative agents, API plugins, and MCP plugins), Copilot Studio (the low-code agent builder), Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry — the managed model + agent platform; URL path still says /azure/ai-foundry/), GitHub Copilot (the IDE + Chat + CLI coding assistant — model picker now spans Claude, GPT, and Gemini), Declarative Agents (the manifest-based agent format that runs inside M365 Copilot Chat), and MCP support across Microsoft surfaces (VS Code, Copilot Studio, ATK, Foundry — what's GA, what's preview). Sush's day-job slice — he's a Copilot Solution Engineer at Microsoft NZ. Everything below is sourced from public Microsoft docs, GitHub, and devblogs. No customer engagement detail. Ever.

Official learn.microsoft.com Status Live Note Batch D shipped — 9 sourced entries live across 7 products. Pages all start as sourced with citations; Sush upgrades to tried over time as he experiments. PRs with verification notes welcome.
