AI Workbench is an accelerator ecosystem for Generative and Agentic AI that empowers business users and technical users to use AI daily using pre-built templates and components.
AI Workbench is a modular, enterprise-grade, and production-ready platform designed to streamline the development and deployment of artificial intelligence solutions—natively integrated with Microsoft Azure to leverage its scalable cloud infrastructure, security, and ecosystem. It enables data scientists, developers, and business stakeholders to collaborate seamlessly in a secure, governed environment leveraging Azure services such as Azure Machine Learning, Azure Synapse, and Azure OpenAI.
With built-in support for popular frameworks and tight integration with Azure and existing on-prem infrastructure, AI Workbench significantly reduces time-to-value for AI initiatives. It aligns with enterprise-grade governance and observability standards through Azure-native dashboards, enabling configurable cost control, model usage tracking, and full visibility of operations in one centralized place. AI Workbench is tailored to your organization’s data architecture and compliance requirements — leveraging Azure’s identity management, data security, and compliance certifications.
Tools can be swapped in and out of AI Workbench as the market and specific needs evolve. It supports integration of in-house, open-source, and third-party developments, enabling any tool or agent to work with LLM models and providers—while maintaining independence from vendor lock-in, even within the Azure ecosystem. This collection of AI tools on a common platform accelerates agents, agentic workflows, and use case creation, and includes industry-specific components built on Azure AI capabilities.
No-code assistants and an agentic chatbot web application — powered by Azure OpenAI deliver productivity gains for business users, while integrated tools and a developer interface serve AI engineers. Centralized tools, logging, and monitoring — supported by Azure Monitor, Azure DevOps, and GitHub integration — provide MCP Repo, Agentic Repo, and agentic frameworks that serve core developers in their daily work.
