    Please join us at Microsoft Ignite, our biggest customer and partner event of the year, from November 17-20 in San Francisco. Last year, we shared a vision for Frontier Transformation as a wholesale reinvention of business by leading with human ambition and focusing on outcomes first. We explained that the two most important elements of any AI solution are intelligence and trust. Since then, we have become more emboldened by these convictions, and have hardened a platform approach across Copilot, Microsoft IQ, and Agent 365. This year, we will unveil our latest innovations, with our customers and partners joining us on stage to share examples of how these platforms have composed to put AI to work in meaningful ways, enabling pragmatic paths to become Frontier. We believe their stories will inspire you like they have inspired all of us at Microsoft and help you to imagine what is possible for your organization. Register for Ignite today, and I cannot wait to see you there! https://lnkd.in/efCXK4Ft #MSIgnite

    AI has the greatest impact when it connects people, data and insights across an organization. That’s what The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. is working toward as it advances its Unified Data Platform and we expand our longstanding partnership to strengthen the cloud and data foundation for AI across its enterprise. From Azure products and solutions to the expansion of Microsoft Copilot across its global workforce, together we’re helping ELC turn insights into action, empower employees and accelerate innovation, all with the goal of creating more meaningful experiences for consumers. I’m excited to see how Brian Franz and the ELC team continue to reimagine what’s possible with AI across the prestige beauty industry. https://lnkd.in/eP8YsfZi

    We spend a lot of time talking about artificial intelligence. But we can’t lose sight of human intelligence and the judgment, perspective, and different ways of thinking that people bring. Mustafa Suleyman summed it up: "People matter more than AI."

    Just wrapped our earnings call. It was a fast start to our fiscal year.   Microsoft Cloud revenue surpassed $63B, with growth accelerating to 30% YoY.  Lots of innovation as we build the new tech stack for the agentic wave. A few highlights:   First, we announced our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing together Chat, Cowork, Autopilot, and Code into one unified experience:  • Daily users grew nearly 50% QoQ, and more than 5X YoY.  • User satisfaction improved nearly 20% QoQ to another all-time high  • Number of customers with more than 50K Copilot seats, up 8X YoY  Great momentum with GitHub Copilot too, including Copilot Fusion, announced just this morning, which delivers frontier level quality, at up to 77% lower cost.  And this is just the beginning. The next frontier is maximizing intelligence per task while continuously optimizing for cost and performance.    This is the frontier that will matter to companies!    And we are extending our vision of Copilot as the new OS for work, bringing the business logic and capabilities of D365 directly into Copilot, helping every organization stand up their own infinite SaaS factory.  Second, underneath our 1P experiences is a common platform, starting with Foundry, which is becoming an increasingly important driver of our growth:  • Foundry revenue more than tripled YoY  • Number of customers building with multiple models grew 5X YoY  • Revenue from open source models increased 10X YoY  We're also bringing Foundry and Fabric closer together, so customers can build agents right next to their data.  And with Microsoft IQ, we're making the rich enterprise context underneath Microsoft 365 + Foundry + Fabric available to agentic workloads.  Nearly 60K customers are accessing context across Microsoft IQ, up 25% QoQ.  Third, we’re also helping customers secure and govern their agents at scale.  Over 50M agents are now in A365, up 30% QoQ.  We are also bringing together Windows + Agent 365 so agents can work within secure boundaries on-device using MXC.   Agents like OpenAI Codex, Anthropic Claude Code, and Meta Muse are all adopting it.  And with Perception, we’re separating intelligence from authority, enforcing identity, permissions, monitoring and containment outside the model itself. We’re encouraged by the feedback from preview customers.  Last, when it comes to infrastructure, we have a fungible fleet that allows us to dynamically allocate capacity to the highest value opportunities across compute, data, Foundry, and Copilot.  We are bringing capacity online faster, and getting more from the infrastructure we already have.  Azure growth was broad-based across enterprise and SMB, spanning both core cloud services and AI infra.  I have never been more confident in the opportunity ahead of us.  Read more about our results here: https://lnkd.in/gVpbWFZK

    We're redefining the SDLC for the agentic era. Lots of GitHub updates this morning at Universe: • GitHub Copilot Fusion delivers frontier-level quality, 40% faster and at up to 77% lower cost • Our unified Copilot harness is now in Foundry, a managed service for building long-running agents that reason, use tools, and get work done • Copilot Projects gives you an orchestration loop to build with multiple agents across repos And we’re expanding capacity and strengthening GitHub’s architecture to make the home of agentic development more resilient.

    Every quarter gives us an opportunity to step back and look at the progress we are making with our customers and partners around the world. What continues to strike me is not simply the pace of change, but the ambition we see from organizations using technology to achieve aspirations that simply weren’t possible before.   We have been leading our customers to focus on the three durable traits that are required for Frontier Transformation: human ambition, intelligence, and trust. We are taking a platform approach toward enabling the same with Copilot, the Microsoft IQ platform, and Agent 365.   I encourage you to read my pre-earnings blog for some of our favorite stories from the past quarter that highlight how these platforms are delivering business outcomes. Behind the numbers are thousands of customers, partners, developers, and employees putting AI to work in meaningful ways. https://lnkd.in/eMxsWyyZ

    Information overload is real. What if you could lighten it?   In the October edition of The Monthly Tech-In, we explore how AI is increasingly helping people turn mounds of data into action.   At the office, the new Microsoft Copilot is changing how work gets done. In the field, emergency responders are using Microsoft's HASTE system to analyze cities after natural disasters to see which neighborhoods and roads were hit the hardest. And with an eye toward the moon, NASA is increasingly turning to the technology to extract new insights from its decades of data.   Read on to learn how AI can help distill data in the real world – and beyond it.
