Microsoft has added OpenAI-developed Deep Research capability to its Azure AI Foundry Agent service to help enterprises integrate research automation into their business applications.
The integration of research automation is made possible by Deep Research API and SDK, which can be used by developers to embed, extend, and orchestrate Deep Research-as-a-service across an enterprise’s ecosystem, including data and existing systems, Yina Arenas, VP of product at Microsoft’s Core AI division, wrote in a blog post.
Developers can use Deep Research to automate large-scale, source-traceable insights, programmatically build and deploy agents as services invokable by apps, workflows, or other agents, and orchestrate complex tasks using Logic Apps, Azure Functions, and Foundry connectors, Arenas added.
