Build Production-Ready AI Agents with the Microsoft Stack.
Ground, secure and evaluate agents with Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft Agent Framework, through one insurer’s claims process from first notice to settlement.
Three tiers, one claim
One system, built three ways.
Claims 365 is a fictional insurer’s claims process. You build a grounded agent in Copilot Studio, secure it, evaluate it and publish it for real use. Then a multimodal assessment agent in Microsoft Foundry. Then a durable multi-agent workflow in Microsoft Agent Framework, in Python or C#, that pauses for human approval.
The book closes by comparing the three tiers: flexibility, control, maintenance and operational responsibility.
