Document Intelligence vs. Content Understanding vs. Mistral OCR 3 vs. GPT-5 vs. Azure Vision

Extracting data from documents is no longer just about “reading” text—it’s about intelligent understanding. Whether you’re digitizing 10,000 invoices, building a real-time app to read street signs, or preparing scientific papers for RAG pipelines, Azure offers a specialized toolkit within its Foundry ecosystem.

In this post, we’ll dive deep into performance, pricing, and capabilities of the leading OCR models in Azure—including the brand-new Mistral OCR 3 and VLM-based approaches with GPT-5.

Building Your Own Intune Agent with Microsoft Foundry

jannikreinhard2 Comments

We’ve all built PowerShell scripts to query Intune, wrapped them in some automation, and called it a day. It works. But with Azure OpenAI Service and models like GPT-4.1 and GPT-5.2 optimized for tool calling, there’s a more interesting approach—building an actual AI agent that can talk to your Intune environment.

Instead of writing a script for every query, you build one agent that understands natural language and calls the Graph API on your behalf. Ask it “which Windows devices are non-compliant?” and it figures out the right API call, executes it, and summarizes the results. It’s not magic—it’s function calling with a nice interface.

In this post, I’ll walk you through two different approaches to building this agent: the classic direct SDK approach and the newer Microsoft Agent Framework. Both use the same underlying Graph API client, but differ in how they orchestrate the AI. Let’s dive in.

Selfi-KI trend: How I Created an AI “Selfie Tour” Video with Tech Icons

Let’s be honest: the AI video space has exploded. Every week there’s a new tool promising Hollywood-quality results. But what happens when you combine AI image generation with video transformation and some creative editing? You get something that looks surprisingly real – and it’s easier than you might think.

I recently created a video that looks like I’m walking around, taking selfies with some of the most recognizable faces in tech. Sam Altman, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs – the whole crew. And no, I didn’t actually meet them at a conference. Here’s exactly how I did it.

Microsoft IQ: The Intelligence Layer That Finally Makes AI Agents Useful

jannikreinhardLeave a comment

Let’s be honest: building AI agents in the enterprise has been a mess. You spend 80% of your time stitching together data sources, wrestling with RAG pipelines, and praying your agent doesn’t hallucinate the CEO’s name. Every new project feels like reinventing the wheel – but a wheel made of duct tape and hopes.

At Ignite 2025, Microsoft dropped something that might actually change this. They call it “IQ” – a unified intelligence layer that spans across Microsoft 365, Fabric, and Microsoft Foundry. And no, it’s not just another buzzword. Let me break down what this actually means for you.

Document Manager: Using Azure AI Foundry or OpenAI for my paperless office

jannikreinhard

Let’s be honest: most document management systems feel like they’re stuck in 2005. I decide to move to an paperless office and scan all my documents. I tried multiple ways to realize this but I don`t find the tooling where I say I feel comfortable with and it saves me a lot of work in storing and retriving documents.

I wouldn’t be a developer or an AI MVP if I didn’t get stuck in and write my own tool. With Doc Manager, I demonstrate how to use Azure Open AI / AI Foundary to build a best-in-class document management system.

Let’s look in the future of device management

jannikreinhard

Endpoint management has come a long way from the days of manual, on-premises processes. In today’s world where employees work from home, on the road, or in branch offices—IT teams need tools that are not only powerful but also flexible and intelligent. Microsoft’s journey from Configuration Manager (SCCM) to Intune, and now toward AI-driven automation, shows how we can bridge legacy systems with cloud innovation to deliver seamless, secure, and proactive device management.

Transform Application Management: Deploy Faster, Patch Smarter, and Simplify Your IT Stack with Application Workspace (Sponsor)

jannikreinhard

When application management works smoothly, everyone benefits: IT teams operate with fewer tickets, security stays tight, and employees remain productive. Yet for many organizations, keeping every device up to date, simplifying deployments for AVD/Citrix images, managing SSO across the environment, and supporting macOS without costly third-party solutions can feel overwhelming. Add in the need to handle custom, complex applications—where 80% of the workload often goes into just 20% of those installs—and application management becomes even more challenging.
