Production agents on Azure AI Foundry - models, tools, evals, and governance in one operating model.
AI Agentic Practice
Microsoft Azure AI Foundry IQ
Gensten implements Microsoft Azure AI Foundry (Foundry IQ) architectures for enterprises that want agentic AI on Azure: model catalog, prompt/agent apps, evaluation, content safety, enterprise tool wiring, and integration with Microsoft Fabric IQ and OneLake. We help you industrialize agents under ADLC - not run one-off Foundry demos.
Foundry project setup, RBAC, and network isolation
Agent apps with enterprise tools and MCP-style connectors
Eval + content safety in release gates
Link agents to Fabric IQ / OneLake knowledge
Cost, latency, and quota operations at scale
Foundry as your agent control plane
Azure AI Foundry centralizes models, prompts, agents, and evaluations. We map your ADLC stages onto Foundry environments (dev/stage/prod), with promotion rules and auditability for regulated industries.
Environment strategy and secrets management
Model routing and fallback policies
Tool authentication patterns (managed identity)
Observability into Azure Monitor / OpenTelemetry
Foundry IQ + data estate
Agents get smarter when connected to Fabric IQ semantics and OneLake data. We design retrieval and analytics paths so Foundry agents reason over governed enterprise facts.
Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Foundry IQ the same as Azure OpenAI?
Azure OpenAI provides models. Azure AI Foundry / Foundry IQ is the broader platform for building, evaluating, and operating agentic applications around those models - plus tooling, catalogs, and governance.
What is Microsoft Azure AI Foundry IQ?
Foundry IQ is Microsoft’s enterprise approach to building and operating AI apps and agents on Azure AI Foundry - models, prompts, agents, evaluations, safety, and governed catalogs in one control plane.
Why choose Foundry for agentic AI?
It centralizes environments, RBAC, model routing, content safety, and agent tooling - reducing shadow AI and aligning with enterprise Azure identity and networking.
Can Foundry agents use our ERP and CRM tools?
Yes. We wire secure connectors (including MCP-style patterns) with managed identity, scoped permissions, and full audit trails for tool invocations.
How does Foundry IQ connect to Fabric IQ and OneLake?
Agents retrieve governed knowledge and metrics from OneLake/Fabric IQ via search, shortcuts, and semantic query tools - so answers and actions use the same enterprise truth as BI.
Do you set up Foundry CI/CD and environments?
Yes. Dev/stage/prod Foundry projects, secret management, eval gates, and promotion rules mapped to your ADLC Test & Release process.
How is content safety handled?
We enable Azure content safety filters, custom deny policies, PII handling, and evaluation suites for jailbreaks and sensitive topic leakage before production release.
Can we mix OpenAI and open-source models in Foundry?
Where supported in your Foundry catalog, we route by task: frontier models for hard reasoning, smaller models for high-volume classification or extraction.
What about network isolation and private endpoints?
We design VNet-integrated patterns, private endpoints, and Entra ID RBAC so prompts and embeddings stay inside your Azure trust boundary.
How do you control Foundry cost and quotas?
Token budgets, model routing, caching, quota alerts, and Monitor dashboards for latency and spend per agent and per business unit.
