At the Microsoft Build 2025 conference, Microsoft unveiled major updates focused on advancing artificial intelligence through the development of AI 'agents' designed to work collaboratively and retain memory. The company is positioning itself to build what it terms an AI 'agent factory,' signaling a shift toward autonomous AI systems capable of executing tasks asynchronously without constant human input. Key highlights include enhancements to GitHub Copilot, which now functions as a full coding agent that can test, fix, and complete coding tasks independently. Additionally, Microsoft introduced Copilot Studio and multi-agent AI tools within Azure AI Foundry, featuring new components such as Grok 3, Flux Pro 1.1, and the upcoming Sora. The event also showcased a new version of Microsoft 365 Copilot and the open-sourcing of Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code. Microsoft emphasized its collaboration with NVIDIA, highlighting deployments of NVIDIA GB200 at scale, integration of NVIDIA NIM in Azure AI Foundry, and availability of NVIDIA TensorRT for RTX via Windows ML, all contributing to accelerating AI innovation. These developments reflect Microsoft's strategic overhaul in software development under the leadership of Jay Parikh, head of CoreAI, aiming to reshape enterprise AI decision-making and support Chief Data and AI Officers (CDAOs) and AI leaders in leveraging multi-agent AI systems.
