Microsoft is expanding preview access to Microsoft Discovery, its agentic AI platform purpose-built for R&D organizations. The platform combines agentic orchestration, advanced reasoning, a graph-based knowledge foundation, and high-performance computing on Azure to automate scientific discovery loops. Real-world use cases include identifying a novel datacenter coolant in ~200 hours, oncology tumor microenvironment analysis with GigaTIME, accelerated chip design with EDA leader synopsys, and compressed engineering simulation cycles for Microsoft Surface cooling fans via PhysicsX. The platform integrates with Microsoft 365, Azure AI foundry, and Microsoft fabric, and includes governance controls, audit trails, and compliance frameworks for enterprise R&D environments.
