Agent Loop in Azure Logic Apps: General Availability and New Capabilities

Agent Loop is now generally available in Azure Logic Apps Standard, transforming Microsoft’s Logic Apps platform into a scalable, intelligent multi-agent automation system. Organizations can build AI-powered agents that collaborate with automated workflows and humans, all deployed and managed using existing CI/CD pipelines and protected by enterprise-grade identity, access controls, and compliance features.

Key Highlights

  • AI-Powered Automation: Agent Loop enables the creation and orchestration of AI agents within business-critical workflows. Agents can act autonomously or in conversational scenarios, streamlining both IT operations and business processes.
  • Scalability and Adoption: The platform has seen rapid adoption, with thousands of customers—including global enterprises—building agents that process billions of tokens monthly. Real customer use cases show accelerated investigation cycles, reduced manual effort, and unified access to information and approvals.
