Microsoft’s blog post from November 18, 2025 explains how the company is showcasing the full lifecycle of artificial intelligence at its Microsoft Ignite 2025 event, highlighting how AI must be built-in from infrastructure to applications rather than tacked on at the end. They emphasize three key themes: “AI in the flow of human ambition,” meaning AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot are integrated into how people work and not just added after the fact; “Ubiquitous innovation and intelligence,” wherein front-line workers and developers alike can build and deploy AI agents using new tools like Foundry IQ, Fabric IQ and the “Agent Factory” program; and “Observability at every layer,” meaning they’re giving organizations tools to monitor, govern and secure AI agents with platforms like Microsoft Agent 365 alongside their existing security and management solutions.
