Microsoft unveiled the GitHub Copilot coding agent, marking the evolution of Copilot from an AI assistant to an autonomous team member that can be assigned GitHub issues and create pull requests.

Microsoft is advancing its Windows AI strategy with native support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Windows 11 and the introduction of Windows AI Foundry — a foundation for AI agents to operate within the Windows ecosystem.

Microsoft also debuted Microsoft 365 Copilot Tuning, a low-code tool built into Microsoft Copilot Studio that enables orgs to fine-tune AI models using their own internal data, workflows, and domain expertise without requiring technical skills.

Azure AI Foundry launched key updates including new AI models, fine-tuning, enhanced interoperability, and multi-agent orchestration that expand developers' ability to design, customize, and manage AI apps and agents.

At Build 2025, Microsoft also unveiled Microsoft Discovery, an AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize scientific R&D by deploying specialized AI agents throughout the entire research lifecycle.

Speaking to journalists before Build and again on stage, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott outlined the company's vision for an "agentic web" where AI agents move autonomously across platforms and tools in collaboration with people.
