Context-aware agents depend on a design that connects knowledge, enterprise data, work signals, and the live web.
Learn how the Microsoft IQ stack (Foundry IQ, Fabric IQ, Work IQ, and Web IQ) provides the enterprise intelligence layer for AI agents.
Map each layer onto a reference architecture, see where each one fits and how they compose, and learn how to choose the right intelligence for a given scenario.
Build a practical foundation for designing scalable, reliable, context-aware agents.
