Misty + Azure AI Foundry: Multimodal Robotics with Any AI Model

CNEXT Blog – Embodied AI

Technical deep dive: How we connect the Misty robot to Azure AI Foundry and use GPT-5.2, Whisper v3, OpenAI TTS, and more OpenAI models for seeing, hearin…

In the last article, we connected Misty to Claude and taught it reinforced prompts. Now we go one step further: we connect Misty to Azure AI Foundry — Microsoft's model catalog with over 1,700 models. The goal: Misty should not be locked to a single model, but choose the best model for each task. See with GPT-5.2 Vision, hear with Whisper v3, think with GPT-5.2, speak with OpenAI TTS. All orchestrated via Python. What is Azure AI Foundry? Azure AI Foundry (formerly Azure AI Studio) is Microsoft's central platform for AI models. Instead of configuring each API separately, Foundry gives you uni…
