Agents extend organizations’ capabilities beyond the limits of human-only speed and scale. Going from experimentation to production requires not just agent-building tools, but a disciplined end to end approach.

EY, Microsoft, and NVIDIA go to market together to help organizations design, build, and scale agent powered applications that deliver real business outcomes. By combining deep industry, technology implementation, and transformation expertise from EY with Microsoft AI trusted cloud and Copilot developer services and NVIDIA’s accelerated AI stack, this joint approach enables enterprises to create secure, governed AI agents that automate workflows, augment teams, and move seamlessly from experimentation to enterprise-scale value, faster and with confidence.

This guide offers a practical framework and tool guidance to build agents on the Microsoft platform, with best practices, key design choices, and examples for power users and developers.
