Explore the evolving world of Generative AI agents with Microsoft MVP Priyanka Shah as she dives deep into Foundry IQ, the new intelligent retrieval platform from Microsoft. In this session, she breaks down the common reasons why AI pilots fail, why traditional RAG pipelines fall short in production, and how Foundry IQ is designed to solve these gaps with intelligent orchestration and real-time agent retrieval.

With real-world demos, domain-specific examples (like Australian superannuation), and a practical walkthrough of the Foundry IQ interface, you’ll leave this talk ready to level up your AI agent architectures and avoid the pitfalls of weak RAG implementations. From building robust ontologies to scaling intelligent search over diverse data sources, Priyanka covers it all—plus a sneak peek into agent chaining, knowledge base orchestration, and how Foundry IQ integrates with Microsoft Teams and M365 Copilot.
