At Directions on Microsoft’s Licensing Bootcamp in Washington, DC, we previewed Atlas AI—a new AI interface designed to make Microsoft licensing research faster, clearer, and more reliable. Atlas AI is built directly on the Directions Atlas platform, which includes our reports, infographics, and research.

Unlike general‑purpose AI tools, Atlas AI is trained only on Directions’ canonical content, ensuring answers are accurate, trustworthy, and sourced directly from our expert analysis. Users can interact with Atlas AI and receive clear responses with direct references back to the underlying research. In this video, Lane Shelton shares why Atlas AI is an important step forward for organizations that need dependable information on Microsoft licensing, contracts, and costs—and why precision matters when making enterprise decisions. Atlas AI is designed for IT leaders, licensing professionals, procurement teams, and anyone who needs fast access to reliable Microsoft licensing guidance without noise or guesswork. A first build of Atlas AI is coming soon, and we look forward to sharing more.
