At its highly anticipated Build 2025 event, Microsoft introduced a breakthrough platform called Microsoft Discovery, aimed at changing how scientists and researchers approach innovation.
Discovery, designed as an enterprise-level AI-powered system, is more than just another research tool. It is an entire ecosystem powered by agentic AI that does not just assist in completing tasks; it collaborates with researchers to move from data to decisions faster than ever before.
With Microsoft Discovery, researchers are able to create hypotheses, generate potential solutions, run analogous scenarios, and parse complex data, all on one integrated platform. It provides an end-to-end research cycle solution, tailored to fields of research more focused on science, like biotechnology, chemistry, and materials science.
Unique to this platform is the fact that it employs a variety of AI agents – each team member has been appropriately designed to take on a specific role in the research process. Microsoft anticipates these agents will function as digital teammates, helping research teams operate quickly, accurately, and scale to discover new, groundbreaking information.
The platform also leverages Microsoft’s supercomputing capabilities to enable workloads that are data-heavy, making it attractive to enterprises and institutions who are developing projects that will scale.
