Web Intelligence for AI Applications with Web IQ

Learn how to give AI agents access to current web knowledge in this online Web IQ session from Microsoft Reactor London on 17 September 2026. ## Build agents that understand what is happening now AI agents are only as useful as the context available to them. This session explores how Web IQ can bring current, publicly available information from across the web into AI applications, enabling agents to reason over news, events, trends and broader online knowledge rather than relying solely on static or pre-existing sources. The focus is on combining web intelligence with other forms of context so that agents can produce responses that are more relevant, informed and context-aware. For developers and AI application builders, this is an opportunity to understand how web retrieval and data grounding can support agents that need to operate against a changing information landscape. Topics highlighted by the event include: - Giving AI agents access to current information from across the web - Reasoning over news, events, trends and public knowledge - Combining web intelligence with other contextual sources - Improving the relevance and awareness of agent responses - Agent development, retrieval, data grounding and knowledge bases ## Who should attend? The online session is particularly relevant to people building AI agents or exploring retrieval, enterprise knowledge and contextual grounding. It should also be useful for developers investigating Azure AI Foundry, Foundry IQ, serverless AI architectures or ways to connect agent experiences with up-to-date external information. No prerequisite experience level is specified on the event page. Hosted by Microsoft Reactor London, the event begins at 5:00 PM on Thursday, 17 September 2026. It takes place online, with the access link made visible to registered attendees. This event forms part of the wider Microsoft IQ Live series.
