Thinking back to the start of 2025 in Microsoft Research, I knew a lot of things were brewing in our labs and had a good chance to make positive impacts in for people and organizations in the real world. However, I would never have predicted just how much happened, and how fast it all unfolded. Here we recap just a tiny sample of the things we made public in 2025.

Last week, I had the wonderful opportunity to present our ASHABot work to Satya Nadella during his India visit. Satya also referenced our work in his keynote in Delhi. The discussion was insightful and energizing, and I learned a great deal from the exchange. I would like to sincerely thank Ruchit Nagar from Khushi Baby and the frontline health worker, Maya Ji, for helping deliver such an impactful story. ASHABot is an LLM-powered, WhatsApp-based chatbot designed to help community health workers access reliable health information. More details here: https://lnkd.in/gGFVYr8A (blog) and https://lnkd.in/ghcvK-Cy (research paper). A huge shoutout to the past and present ASHABot team--Bhuvan Sachdeva, Pragnya Ramjee, Rahul Sharma, Soumabha Ray Chaudhuri, Hamid Abdullah, Mehak Chhokar, Khushboo Gupta,MBA, Pranav Savanur--and many others from Microsoft Research India (Venkat Padmanabhan, Sriram Rajamani) and Khushi Baby for making this work possible. Grateful for the collaboration and shared commitment to strengthening frontline healthcare through technology.
