DXC AI Workbench

AI Workbench is an accelerator ecosystem for Generative and Agentic AI that empowers both business users and technical teams to use AI in their daily work through pre-built templates, governed agents, and reusable components.

It is a modular, enterprise-grade platform natively integrated with Microsoft Azure. It leverages Azure’s scalable cloud infrastructure, security, and ecosystem to support secure development, orchestration, and operation of AI agents and agentic workflows. The platform enables close collaboration between business stakeholders, developers, and data teams in a controlled environment aligned with enterprise governance requirements, integrating seamlessly with Azure services such as Azure OpenAI, Azure Machine Learning, Azure AI Search, and Azure-native identity and security capabilities.

With built-in support for modern agentic frameworks and native connectivity to Azure and hybrid on-premises environments, AI Workbench significantly reduces time-to-value for AI initiatives. Governance and observability are embedded by design and aligned with Azure standards, providing centralized visibility into cost, model usage, agent activity, and operational behavior. Organizations can align AI Workbench to their specific data architectures and compliance needs by leveraging Azure identity, access management, security controls, and compliance certifications.

AI Workbench enables massive access to external AI ecosystems without platform lock-in. External agents and MCP-based tools from partner platforms, open-source communities, and in-house systems can be securely consumed and orchestrated under AI Workbench governance. These external agents and tools become first-class citizens in AI Workbench, enabling true agent-to-agent workflows across platforms while preserving security and ownership boundaries.

For business users, AI Workbench provides no-code assistants and an agentic chatbot web application powered by Azure OpenAI, enabling immediate productivity gains. For developers and AI engineers, the platform offers guard-railed, context-aware vibe coding experiences that understand enterprise codebases, APIs, and data models. Developers can rapidly build agents, workflows, custom logic while enterprise policies, security constraints and best practices are enforced automatically
