Key details

  • Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track your agents' work and costs from one dashboard.
  • It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.
  • Manage business goals, not pull requests.
  • | Step | Example | | |---|---|---| | 01 | Define the goal | "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR." | | 02 | Hire the team | CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.

  • We evaluate the framework on two long-horizon design tasks: a cantilever beam benchmark and a phone-stand product design.
  • In both tasks, the designer specifies an aesthetic preference for hierarchically branched structures inspired by natural tree morphologies, and the system performs four revision cycles across ten independent replicates.

Context

Several members of this team came to Microsoft from Team Atlanta, the team that won the $29.5 million DARPA AI Cyber Challenge by building an autonomous cyber-reasoning system that found and patched real bugs in complex open-source projects.

Key details

  • They used the new Microsoft Security multi-model agentic scanning harness (codename MDASH) which was built by Microsoft’s Autonomous Code Security team.
  • Unlike single-model approaches, the harness orchestrates more than 100 specialized AI agents across an ensemble of frontier and distilled models to discover, debate, and prove exploitable bugs end-to-end.
  • The results speak for themselves: 21 of 21 planted vulnerabilities found with zero false positives on a private test driver; 96% recall against five years of confirmed Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) cases in clfs.sys and 100% in tcpip.sys; and an...
  • The strategic implication is clear: AI vulnerability discovery has crossed from research curiosity into production-grade defense at enterprise scale, and the durable advantage lies in the agentic system around the model rather than any single model itself.
