AI & Agents

Trailhead builds AI features and agents into custom software, and we use AI agents in our own development process every day. We pick tools based on where your data lives and what your team already runs, with Azure and Microsoft Foundry as the default for Microsoft shops.

Agents That Work With Your Systems

Most of the AI work we do connects a language model to a client’s own data, APIs, and business rules. We build agents and MCP servers in .NET, host models inside your Azure subscription through Microsoft Foundry, and add the logging, evaluation, and access controls a production system needs.
Claude Code

Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding tool. Our developers use it to write, test, review, and refactor code, and we build custom skills, plugins, and multi-agent workflows on top of it so our teams can deliver faster without lowering the bar on quality.

GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is GitHub’s AI coding assistant, built into Visual Studio, VS Code, and GitHub itself. It suggests code as you type, answers questions in chat, and its coding agent can pick up an issue and open a pull request. Many of our clients already have it, and we help their teams use it well on their own codebases.

Codex

Codex

Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent. It runs in the terminal, in the IDE, or in the cloud, where it works through tasks in parallel and hands back pull requests for review. We use it alongside Claude Code and pick whichever agent fits the task and the client’s setup.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants and agents to tools and data. We build MCP servers that give AI agents controlled access to our clients’ systems, APIs, and documentation.

Microsoft Agent Framework

Microsoft Agent Framework

Microsoft Agent Framework is the open-source successor to Semantic Kernel and AutoGen for building AI agents and multi-agent workflows in .NET and Python. It works with models in Microsoft Foundry and other providers and supports MCP tools, so agents can call into the systems you already run.

Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry) is Azure’s platform for building AI apps and agents. It gives us models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others inside a client’s own Azure subscription, with the security, monitoring, and governance controls enterprise teams expect.

AI-Assisted Development

Our developers use Claude Code along with custom skills, plugins, and multi-agent workflows we built for our own process. AI writes much of the first draft, and our engineers still own the architecture, code reviews, and tests, so you get the speed of AI-assisted development with the quality you expect from Trailhead.

Choosing the Right AI Tools

AI models and tools change every few months, so we avoid locking clients into a single vendor. We look at where your data lives, your security and compliance requirements, and which models do the job well for the cost. Then we build so the model can be swapped later without rewriting the app.

Tell AI Everything Twice, Then Tell It a Second Time

September 15, 2026
You gave your AI coding assistant one critical rule, and ten endpoints later it quietly broke it. That's not a prompting problem. Here's why LLMs drift from your instructions and the check gates that catch it.

Developing with AI Exposes Your Bottlenecks

July 21, 2026
AI makes writing code dramatically faster, but a team only moves as fast as its slowest step. Speed up coding and the constraint doesn't disappear. It just moves somewhere you can finally see it.

Montage Portal

Montage Furniture Services provides furniture protection plans and claims processing services to a wide selection of furniture retailers and consumers.

Project Background

Montage was looking to build a new web portal for both Retailers and Consumers, which would integrate with Dynamics CRM and other legacy systems. The portal needed to be multi tenant and support branding and configuration for different Retailers. Trailhead architected the new Montage Platform, including the Portal and all of it’s back end integrations, did the UI/UX and then delivered the new system, along with enhancements to DevOps and processes.

Trailhead stepped into a challenging project – building our new web architecture and redeveloping our portals at the same time the business was migrating from a legacy system to our new CRM solution. They were able to not only significantly improve our web development architecture but our development and deployment processes as well as the functionality and performance of our portals. The feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Trailhead has proven themselves to be a valuable partner.
