The Microsoft IQ Series

Learn Microsoft IQ with The IQ Series! Microsoft IQ is Microsoft’s unified intelligence layer for the enterprise, giving AI agents the context to understand your business. It brings together four core intelligence services:

• Fabric IQ (your business): Unify business semantics across data, models, and systems to power intelligent agents and decisions grounded in a live, holistic view of the business.
• Foundry IQ (your knowledge): A managed knowledge layer for enterprise data; connecting structured and unstructured data across Azure, SharePoint, OneLake, and the web so agents can access permission-aware knowledge.
• Work IQ (your work): Your organization’s intelligence, unlocked for every agent: understanding context, relationships, and work patterns so agents can be faster, more accurate, and more secure.
• Web IQ (the web): Live grounding in the public web, so agents can answer time-sensitive questions with current, cited information beyond your enterprise data.

Together, these IQs enable AI agents to reason, retrieve, and act with deep business context, going beyond traditional RAG for true enterprise intelligence.

Note: Foundry IQ and Work IQ episodes are available now. Fabric IQ and Web IQ episodes are coming soon.

📺 Foundry IQ episodes premiered every Wednesday at 9 AM PT, starting March 18, 2026 on Microsoft Developer YouTube.
