Sidekick Machines on Microsoft
Your company runs on Microsoft. Sidekick agents can too.
We build them on Microsoft Foundry, govern them through Microsoft Agent 365 where you license it, and deliver them in Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Copilot. Each one works on its own and asks your people for decisions.
At work
They work on their own. They ask when it’s your call.
Your people reach them in apps they already use, right next to their everyday work. No new tool to learn.
In Microsoft Copilot
Your team finds it in Agent Store under Built by your org.
Asks for decisions
It works on its own and stops for a person’s approval before sensitive steps. Work continues once someone signs off.
Capability map
Sidekick capabilities, mapped to Microsoft services.
Each capability is available on its own. Here is how each one runs on Microsoft, with preview features and license needs marked.
-
Security
- Microsoft Agent 365
- Microsoft Entra
- Microsoft Purview
- Microsoft Defender
- Microsoft Foundry
Agent 365 extends Entra access controls, Purview data protection and Defender threat detection to each agent. Foundry adds content filters, prompt-injection checks and private networking. We map what each agent may do and test those controls against misuse.
Needs an Agent 365 or Microsoft 365 E7 license in your tenant.
-
Governance
- Microsoft Agent 365
- Microsoft 365 admin center
Agent 365 lists your agents in one registry in your admin center. We set ownership and lifecycle with you. Once your cybersecurity team approves a pattern, Agent Studio takes care of all that boring work, including admin approval, for every agent after that.

-
Identity & access
- Microsoft Entra Agent ID
Each Foundry agent gets its own Entra agent identity, so access traces back to that one agent. We scope its access to its job and revoke access when that job changes.
Entra security features for agents, such as Conditional Access, need Agent 365.
-
Human sign-off
- Microsoft Foundry
Foundry can hold a tool call that writes data or changes a system until a person approves it. We bind each approval to its exact action and keep a record of every decision.
-
Memory
- Microsoft Foundry
- Foundry Memory (preview)
Foundry hosted agents keep each session’s state. Foundry Memory is still in preview, so we engineer and test long-term memory with you.
-
Reliability
- Microsoft Foundry
- Foundry Monitoring (preview)
We run Foundry evaluations, red teaming and tracing on every change before release. Foundry monitoring dashboards are still in preview, so we agree with you what to watch and how.
-
Cost control
- Sidekick engineering
Our own work, on any cloud: we measure cost per completed task and cut waste in models, context and retries.
Your cloud
Agents run where your data lives.
We work Microsoft-first, never Microsoft-only. Your agents run in your cloud, and our engineers work inside your environment.
Through its SDK, Microsoft Agent 365 also connects agents hosted on other clouds or on premises, so a mix of clouds still fits.
Microsoft account teams and partner managers: bring us a customer agent that needs to reach production. We’ll scope it with you and your customer.
Sidekick Machines is a member of Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program.
Agent Test Drive
Try one job, live in your Microsoft Teams.
One digital AI co-worker, one job, a set period. Fixed size, fixed price, agreed up front. Your people work with it on real tasks, then you decide: keep it running with us, grow it or stop.
