What these workers have in common is heavy workloads. With this in mind, different categories of ADO users expressed the desire for AI-powered experiences that could help streamline workflows and speed up day-to-day development tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As generative AI matured, our team explored whether they could embed AI technology inside ADO to act as a real-time assistant, handling administrative work and answering contextual questions using natural language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Debashis-Sahoo.png\" alt=\"A photo of Sahoo.\" class=\"wp-image-23167\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Debashis-Sahoo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Debashis-Sahoo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Debashis-Sahoo-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe saw it as a win-win experiment.

It allows for secure, confidential, and context-rich ADO data to be used safely for meaningful AI-powered experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DevOps Assistant offers conversational, in-context support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DevOps Assistant is a chat\u2011based experience present in the ADO user interface (UI). It\u2019s activated in a side panel where users can ask natural language questions to retrieve information, check project statuses, and run common DevOps actions without navigating away from their main ADO display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DevOps Assistant enables cross-source discovery, which reduces context switching and discovery time and helps lower the cognitive load for engineers and product managers. By reducing the time it takes to switch contexts and search for information, the DevOps Assistant helps ADO users move faster and stay focused on product delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the hood, the DevOps Assistant is a constellation of specialized agents, each of which is focused on a different segment of the DevOps lifecycle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Work Item Agent <\/strong>creates, refines, and scopes work into sprint-ready backlogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Knowledge Board Agent<\/strong> surfaces the right DevOps knowledge at the right moment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Permission Agent <\/strong>handles access and permission requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Bulk Complete Agent <\/strong>runs repetitive, large-scale updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Sprint Board Agent<\/strong> summarizes sprint status and provides instant, prompt\u2011driven insights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Apoorv-Gupta.png\" alt=\"A photo of Gupta.\" class=\"wp-image-23169\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Apoorv-Gupta.png 500w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Apoorv-Gupta-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/Apoorv-Gupta-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t just build a chatbot.

If the question is about permissions, then it delegates the work to the Permission Agent. It does this for each task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t just build a chatbot,\u201d says Apoorv Gupta, a principal software engineer in Microsoft Digital. \u201cWe built a distributed system of agents that understands the intent of DevOps user and acts on it securely and in context.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At present, the DevOps Assistant is available across all our internal ADO environments at Microsoft. The plan is to make it available to external customers soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI Work Item Assistant provides inline assistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AI Work Item Assistant is a real-time embedded experience within ADO work items. Powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/ai-foundry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Foundry<\/a>, it helps users create and refine work items using context and business requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assistant works immersively, keeping users focused and within ADO as they structure work items or generate child items from the parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For product and program managers who start with high\u2011level ideas, the assistant understands intent. It can automatically suggest logical, sprint\u2011ready breakdowns, helping to dramatically reduce the time spent on planning, sorting, and prioritizing work items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/AI-Work-Item-Assistant-screenshot.png\" alt=\"Screenshot showing the \u201cUse AI to edit this item\u201d button in the Azure DevOps UI. \" class=\"wp-image-23168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/AI-Work-Item-Assistant-screenshot.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/AI-Work-Item-Assistant-screenshot-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2026\/04\/AI-Work-Item-Assistant-screenshot-768x477.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The AI Work Item Assistant is just a click away in Azure DevOps work items.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turning newfound time into innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key to reclaiming time for your workforce isn\u2019t just the introduction of new AI-driven features. It\u2019s using the technology to enforce structure and quality at the beginning, so that everything downstream moves faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panigrahy describes the practice as three reinforcing feedback loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first loop is upstream quality amplification. AI agents help consistently structure work items with clear acceptance criteria and templates. The structure then feeds other tools (such as GitHub Copilot), allowing them to generate higher-quality code and more predictable outcomes\u2014shortening the overall software development lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second feedback loop is acceleration of execution. In a typical sprint planning session, a team of eight engineers might:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Take an hour (or more) to manually break user stories into more than 100 tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Create different tasks in their own style, introducing inconsistency and ambiguity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Generate uneven details, then spend time clarifying data later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With DevOps Assistant and AI Work Item Assistant, that same task breakdown turns into a prompt-driven action that no longer requires hours of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt burns a lot of time for everyone to manually create each item in their own way, making sure they\u2019re using the correct inputs from the product manager and confirming they aren\u2019t missing anything,\u201d Panigrahy says. \u201cNow, with AI magic, it takes less than three minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third feedback loop is capacity reinvestment. Instead of spending hours on tactical DevOps mechanics, teams can now spend more time on engineering judgment, resulting in better estimation, technical decisions, and design. They can use these reclaimed hours to learn new tools, experiment with new agents, and innovate on the SDLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCapacity saving keeps giving back, in a loop,\u201d Gupta says. \u201cYou get more capacity back. You innovate. You learn. You do better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next on the AI-in-ADO journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DevOps Assistant and the AI Work Item Assistant can help change user behavior, shifting from time spent doing tactical DevOps tasks to performing higher\u2011value, judgment-based work. These tools can help teams increase work quality and reduce wasted time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur next chapter is about making AI smarter, more action-oriented, and truly agentic,\u201d Sahoo says. \u201cThe goal is to reduce cognitive load and allow the experience to live wherever users are\u2014from Azure DevOps to Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365\u2014so the agent works seamlessly across their workflow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI-driven productivity gains are arguably the biggest opportunity in the industry. It\u2019s fundamentally redefining the engineering experience at an unprecedented pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile we\u2019ve made huge strides embedding AI into the everyday Azure DevOps experience, it still feels like we\u2019re just getting started,\u201d Sahoo says. \u201cStaying relevant means continuously evolving to deliver ever-greater value and efficiency to engineers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c0392459 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7db9d80f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Key-takeaways-badge.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19493\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:75px;height:75px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Key-takeaways-badge.png 190w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/07\/Key-takeaways-badge-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-xl-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-24);margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--spacing-24)\">Key takeaways<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep these tips in mind as you get started on your own journey with AI and Microsoft ADO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Treat AI as a strategic accelerator, not as an add-on.<\/strong> Identify where your engineering process can use AI to move from simple assistance to transforming your workflows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Target high-effort, high-volume tasks first. <\/strong>Analyze where your teams are spending significant manual time, even if AI tools are already in place in those workflows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Validate productivity with measurable data, not intuition. <\/strong>Track time reclaimed, workflow efficiency, reduction in manual steps, and user satisfaction.
