Start with the outcome
Name the agent, its business area and the outcome you are aiming for. Required guardrails are added automatically.
AI Foundry
Build an agent like you would build a recipe
AI Foundry is the design environment for AI agents. Build agents and co-pilot apps step by step, with required guardrails locked in from the first step and a governed path from prototype to production.
From idea to governed agent in four steps
Foundry keeps the builder simple and the guardrails non-negotiable.
Build step by step
Add a trigger, AI reasoning, connectors, decisions and human review, the same way you would write a recipe.
Check against Harness
Foundry connects to AI Harness while you build, so the guardrails, tier and checks come from the governance layer, not from guesswork.
Promote through gates
Move from prototype to pilot to production through named gates, each with a recorded human sign-off.
What you can build?
Two kinds of builds, one set of guardrails.
Agents
A backend flow that runs without a person typing: a trigger, AI steps, connectors, decisions and a point where a person signs off.
Co-pilot apps
A chat assistant people talk to directly. Describe it in plain language and watch a live preview take shape: name, greeting, model and sample prompts.
Designed to keep you in control
Six step types
Trigger, AI reasoning, guardrail, connector, decision and human review. Steps can be reordered at any time.
Guardrails you cannot remove
PII redaction is built into every agent. Co-pilot apps also get prompt-injection screening and an audit log, locked in from the start.
A person signs off
A human review step defines who reviews and what they can do: approve, edit or reject. The agent cannot finalize past that point.
Least-privilege connectors
Choose read-only, write to one field, or write to a full record. Full write access needs security and compliance sign-off before it can go live.
Governed promotion
Promotion runs readiness checks and writes every step to a ledger: who, what and when.
Choose your model and platform
Pick the model for each step, add an optional fallback, and see the status of every model and platform before you commit.
Example use cases
Examples of the kinds of agents and co-pilot apps teams design in Foundry.
Life sciences: studies and trials for CROs and sponsors
For CROs
- Study co-pilot that answers protocol, eligibility and visit-window questions for site teams
- Site communication drafting, such as activation reminders for sites behind schedule
- Protocol deviation triage that categorizes and summarizes deviations for monitor review
- Imaging and source document intake that extracts structured fields for data manager confirmation
For sponsors
- Oversight co-pilot that summarizes enrollment, deviations and open queries across studies
- Trial master file completeness and quality checks ahead of sponsor review
- Study status questions answered from the trial master file, with sources shown
Healthcare
- Discharge summary drafting with clinician review
- Patient intake document parsing with staff review
- Care management outreach prioritization for care teams to review
Events & Auctions
- Bidder and attendee support co-pilot
- Consignment and catalog document intake with staff review
- Event operations co-pilot for schedules and logistics questions
Governance from AI Harness
Foundry designs. Harness governs. Compliance decisions, risk tiers and approvals come from Harness, and Foundry shows them as you build.
