Intune Policy Manager AI-powered policy descriptions and conflict analysis dashboard.

AI-Powered Intune Policy Documentation and Conflict Analysis

If you manage Microsoft Intune at scale, you know the pain: hundreds of policies, most of them with empty or outdated descriptions, and zero visibility into which settings overlap or even contradict each other across policies. I’ve seen this in pretty much every tenant I’ve worked with and honestly, it’s one of the most underestimated operational risks in modern endpoint management.

So I built a tool to fix it. It builds on the same idea I explored in Create your own Intune Co Pilot using Azure OpenAi Studio, but takes it further with policy documentation and conflict analysis. Let me walk you through it.

Build a Microsoft Intune AI Agent with Foundry

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.

In business environments, IT teams usually handle this task, but in our personal lives, it’s an important responsibility that often falls to us individually.

To simplify this process, Patch My PC offers a free tool designed to keep your home PC’s software up to date effortlessly. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how it works and what’s new in version 5.0.

Like every year the Ignite of Microsoft takes place. This is an event where Microsoft presents news in their products but also general strategic topics on which they will work within the next few months. This year the ignite was a hybrid event both as live stream and on site in Seattle. In this blog I would like to briefly summarize what was presented in relation to Mem (whether this name is still the right one?). You can find a detailed summary under this link.
