Presented by Pavel Nasovich and Dmitry Tikhomirov at Microsoft Ignite, this talk explores agentic AI solutions built with Microsoft's Agent Framework, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI. The session details real-world integration, compliance, and development challenges.

Agentic AI in Action: Building Autonomous Agents with Microsoft Agent Framework

Session Overview

This Microsoft Ignite 2025 session focuses on moving enterprises from simple automation to true AI autonomy. The speakers, Pavel Nasovich and Dmitry Tikhomirov, demonstrate the use of Microsoft's Agent Framework for orchestrating complex business processes, specifically in Know Your Customer (KYC) scenarios.

Key Topics Covered

• Multi-Agent Systems: Technical deep dive into agentic AI for KYC workflows, demonstrating the orchestration of specialized agents (e.g., risk assessment, case manager).
• Compliance & Traceability: Secure document management is ensured through role-based access controls in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines.
• Workflow Flexibility: Explains the use of MOV (Modular Orchestration Visualization) and YAML-based systems enabling rapid agentic workflow development and evolution.
• Integration: Seamless connection with Copilot Studio and Azure AI for fast deployment of production-ready autonomous workflows.
• Experimental Networks: Discussion on experimental, self-evolving agent networks and operational challenges during MVP implementation.
