On my recent trip to Tanzania, I got to see AI in action, helping to protect one of Africa’s most iconic animals. This highlights the importance of making AI available everywhere in the world. #WildNatureInstitute, Microsoft

Before MedScribe, every letter was a race against the clock—24 hours to translate clinical notes into clear, compassionate care. In Virginia, Acentra Health tapped Azure OpenAI Service to build a generative AI tool that cuts writing time in half, saves thousands of nursing hours, and helps each nurse process up to 30 appeals a day—without losing the human touch. Now, the letters write themselves—almost.

It’s been a busy few weeks – between today’s earnings and some of our recent announcements. Here are a few things I wanted to highlight: We are riding multiple compounding S curves in pre-training, inference time, and systems design, driving model performance that is doubling every 6 months. Azure is the infrastructure layer for AI, optimized across every layer: DCs, silicon, systems software, and models to lower costs and increase performance. We are delivering more performance per megawatt, lower cost per token, and faster dock-to-live times. Frontier firms are incorporating AI into everyday workflows, transforming work and work artifacts. Microsoft 365 Copilot is now being used by hundreds of thousands of customers across industries, up 3X year-over-year. I’m especially excited about our new Researcher and Analyst agents, like having a highly trained expert on call 24/7. And our customers have created over 1 million agents of their own using SharePoint and Copilot Studio. On the consumer side: Our ad revenue surpassed $20 billion over the past year. Only at Microsoft could that almost get overlooked! LinkedIn continues to grow fast, with double-digit membership gains. And we again took share across Bing and Edge. And we are building daily engagement and successful sessions with our Copilot app, which got a big update earlier this month. And, yes, blocks can be stars: Minecraft weekly active users jumped 75% year-over-year after the movie release. You can read more about our results here: https://lnkd.in/gjWnuT9H

Chief Marketing Officer, AI at Work @ Microsoft | Predicting, shaping and innovating for the future of work | Tech optimist
This week we released our 5th annual #WorkTrendIndex report—and the message is clear: intelligence is now on tap. AI has become abundant, affordable, and capable of transforming how work gets done. With 82% of leaders saying they’ll use digital labor to expand capacity in the next 12–18 months, we’re seeing the rise of a new kind of organization: the Frontier Firm. These are companies built on hybrid teams of humans and AI—able to scale expertise without scaling headcount, amplifying human strengths and unlocking productivity in entirely new ways. This is one of the biggest shifts in modern work. And those who embrace it early will shape the future. Read more in my latest newsletter below.

At Microsoft, we firmly believe that Agents + Copilot + Human Ambition can deliver real AI differentiation for our customers. As the role of agentic AI continues to grow, we are helping organizations across industries put the autonomous capabilities of an agent to work for their business to unlock AI opportunity and realize greater value. Our customers are building their own custom agents with the no-code, low-code features of Microsoft Copilot Studio to extend the capabilities of Copilot and deliver on the unique needs of their industry. Microsoft also offers the best prebuilt agent framework right out-of-the-box, including Sales Agent and general purpose reasoning agents like Researcher and Analyst. I invite you to take a look back on the quarter to see how agents are driving pragmatic AI innovation for our customers by increasing productivity, creating capacity across every role and function, and improving business processes. You can read my latest earnings blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gsvWDVTW There is immense potential for agents to drive AI-first differentiation, and I look forward to partnering with you to accelerate your AI Transformation journey.
