Microsoft IQ
Bring together how people work, how the business operates, and how to connect and reuse knowledge into a single, real-time view for your agents
Overview
Unified intelligence
Shared dynamic intelligence, ready for production on day one.
- Avoiding bespoke integration projects and enabling teams to build on a shared, enterprise intelligence layer from day one. Avoiding connector sprawl so teams can focus on deploying, not stitching systems together.
- In minutes, empower AI with the knowledge you have been accumulating for decades in the Microsoft ecosystem including Microsoft 365, Power BI, Fabric, Foundry, and Azure. Activate context across tools and applications in real-time with 1st class integrations.
- Power BI today accounts for 90%+ of semantic models in production. Users can bootstrap an ontology directly from these models in just a few clicks, accelerating time-to-value by instantly reusing trusted logic and definitions.
Grounded in what you know today. Built for what you need tomorrow.
- Define business entities, relationships, metrics, and rules once through a shared semantic foundation so agents and applications reason from same business meaning and produce accurate, consistent outputs—not conflicting interpretations or ad-hoc answers.
- Deliver richer, more accurate outputs using query planning, multi‑source search, reranking, and synthesis to draw from trusted, authorized enterprise knowledge and semantic reasoning so agents respond with complete, well‑reasoned answers instead of shallow summaries.
- Maintain accuracy and consistency as agents reason over terabytes of enterprise data, generating knowledge as usage grows, so agents get smarter and more reliable over time, even as complexity increases.
Intelligence without silos. Innovation without limits.
- Bring together how people work, how the business operates, and how to connect and reuse knowledge into a single, real-time view for your agents. Enable your AI to understand what’s in motion, what’s been decided, and what needs attention across workflows and your enterprise systems (CRM, ERP, HR, etc), all with the data and applications you already use.
- Microsoft IQ works with the file permissions and policies you already have in place. With end‑to‑end compliance for Microsoft Entra based access and Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels: agents retrieve, reason over, and act only on the information users are authorized to access. Respect for enterprise policy is default. Get even more peace of mind with Agent 365, a single place to observe, govern, and secure every agent across your organization.
- Enable your business to move at the pace of global information and events, with AI-native search infrastructure re-architected for LLMs and multi-step agents. Deliver more complete, structured context across the web, news, images, videos and more sources. Get the highest grounding quality, fastest speed at <165 ms P95 latency, and max token efficiency that gives you the best quality answers at the lowest cost.
