The @github engineering team built a best-in-class, truly multi-model harness, which we've implemented across Microsoft products. Introducing Microsoft Copilot harness in Foundry Agent Service, a simpler way to build agents without rebuilding the execution layer. It handles orchestration, tools, context, and controls so you can focus on your agent’s skills and outcomes. Watch @jeffhollan's demo to see it in action.

Grounding ties extracted values to source evidence. Confidence scores flag uncertainty. A developer-defined JSON schema gives your app structured output. Together, they help you validate results or route them for review before your app or agent acts.

In Azure Content Understanding, OCR and layout models preserve text, tables and reading order in Markdown before an LLM extracts fields. The perception layer reads the page. The LLM reasons over that representation.

Our tests showed LLMs outperforming specialized models on contracts and agreements, where meaning lives in the words. On tax forms and mortgage applications, where layout carries meaning, our existing approach still won. Match the approach to the document.

An agent reported 46.1 dB for F-03’s ORL at 1310 nm. That cell was empty. It borrowed the value from the 1550 nm column after extraction flattened the table. For your document pipeline, preserving structure is part of preserving meaning.
