We just wrapped our earnings call. It was a very strong close to our fiscal year. A few highlights: Azure surpassed $75 billion in revenue for the first time this year, up 34 percent year over year. It has been quite the journey from 0 to 75! We have come a long way from Project Red Dog... we now add as much capacity in a month as we did in our first five years! Super grateful for the trust so many customers have placed in us through the years. One other big number we shared: more than 100 million monthly active users across our family of Copilots. We rolled out our biggest update to M365 Copilot this quarter, and we saw the largest quarter of seat adds, with a record number of customers coming back to buy more seats. Plus, we have Copilots and agents for every role and function, which are all growing fast, from GitHub Copilot for devs (20M users), to Dragon in healthcare (13M physician-patient encounters this quarter). And with Copilot Mode in Edge, it is exciting to see innovation come back to the browser! Azure Foundry is our app server for AI, and we’re seeing great momentum. Foundry offers access to more models than any other hyperscaler, as well as best-in-class tooling, management, observability, and built-in controls for trustworthy AI. And when we look at just the number of tokens served by Foundry APIs, we processed over 500 trillion this year, up over 7X. This is good indicator of true platform diffusion beyond a few head apps and services. You can read more about our results here: https://lnkd.in/gvQd_xNf

Over the past fiscal year, our customers and partners have driven pragmatic outcomes by implementing AI-first strategies across their organizations. With AI Transformation as their framework, we helped them reinvent employee experiences, reinvent customer engagement, reshape business processes, and bend the curve on innovation for their people, businesses and industries. Now, we are partnering to go beyond what they thought possible to unlock even greater potential by restructuring and centralizing their business strategies with an AI-first mindset. Our cloud and AI capabilities are leading the industry, and we are committed to working closely with our customers and partners to meet their increasingly complex needs and help them become frontier AI firms. Check out my latest blog to read several customer and partner stories from the past quarter reflecting the success we have seen broadly in FY25, and what we can achieve together with an approach grounded in AI business solutions, cloud and AI platforms, and security. https://lnkd.in/giVmUisX

Here is a fun one to close the week with! Clorox, the company behind Hidden Valley Ranch, is using Microsoft Copilot and generative AI in some seriously creative ways. From generating ad visuals for ranch pairings to using AI to help brainstorm and refine new product ideas, this Wall Street Journal story is a great example of how AI is unlocking new possibilities in CPG. What’s your favorite food to pair with ranch? Nice work Linda Mills! https://lnkd.in/gxrHKMPu
