Microsoft Build 2025, the company’s annual developer conference saw CEO Satya Nadella delivering keynote. The CEO revealed a series of groundbreaking AI updates. The announcements spotlight Microsoft’s vision of an ‘open agentic web’. It means intelligent AI agents that can autonomously perform tasks and collaborate across domains. The updates are aimed at revolutionizing the future of software development and AI integration.
One of the mind-blowing launches is an upgraded GitHub Copilot. It now acts as a full coding agent. The upgraded version autonomously handles tasks such as bug fixes, feature additions, and code refactoring by interacting with GitHub issues or Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code. It operates in a secure environment, cloning repositories, analyzing codebases. The upgraded GitHub Copilot also generates draft pull requests while maintaining transparency through session logs.
Microsoft also introduced Copilot Tuning. It allows companies to customize AI models with their own data and workflows via a low-code interface. This means businesses like legal firms can now develop AI agents tailored to their specific processes without coding expertise.
Microsoft also unveiled multi-agent orchestration, enabling multiple AI agents to collaborate on complex workflows. For example, agents from IT, HR, and marketing teams can jointly streamline employee onboarding.
Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft’s platform for AI app development, received major enhancements. It now supports over 10,000 AI models, including the new Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini, with integrations from partners like Hugging Face and Meta. The platform extends enterprise-grade security and management to AI agents.
A notable addition is NLWeb, an open-source project that lets developers embed natural language AI interfaces on websites with minimal code. NLWeb enables AI agents to interact with website content and users in natural language. Thus, aligning with Microsoft’s open agentic web vision.
Microsoft also launched Microsoft Discovery, an AI-powered research platform designed to boost scientific innovation. The platform automates data analysis and experimentation by coordinating AI agents to generate ideas, simulate results, and learn. It highlights a recent breakthrough involving a new coolant candidate free of harmful chemicals.
These announcements emphasize Microsoft’s commitment to building AI tools that empower developers, businesses, and researchers. Nadella emphasized the company’s goal to make AI agents accessible and secure across industries. Microsoft aims to foster collaboration and promote innovation through its latest AI updates.
