GitHub Copilot Becomes a Full Coding Agent
A major highlight of the event was the evolution of GitHub Copilot into a fully autonomous coding agent. This next-generation tool goes beyond pair programming, enabling developers to assign tasks such as bug fixes, feature implementations, and documentation directly through GitHub Issues or Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code.
Once triggered, the Copilot Agent:
- Clones repositories securely
- Analyzes the codebase
- Commits updates to a draft pull request
- Maintains session logs for full transparency
With security checks built-in, the AI agent ensures that every change goes through proper code review, aligning with team standards and repository instructions. Currently, it is available for Copilot Enterprise and Copilot Pro+ users.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Tuning: Customize AI for Your Organization
Nadella also introduced Copilot Tuning—a low-code feature within Copilot Studio. It enables organizations to:
- Personalize AI behavior to match their brand tone
- Embed institutional knowledge
- Automate workflows across legal, HR, sales, and more
With full compliance and data security inside the Microsoft 365 service boundary, companies can now deploy domain-specific agents safely and effectively.
Microsoft Build 2025 Multi-Agent Orchestration: Seamless AI Collaboration
Microsoft Build 2025 also showcased multi-agent orchestration—a feature that allows AI agents from different domains (e.g., IT, HR, Marketing) to collaborate on complex tasks such as onboarding, project management, and enterprise automation.
Azure AI Foundry Upgrades
Microsoft announced a significant upgrade to Azure AI Foundry, now supporting over 10,000 AI models, including:
- Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini
- Models from Hugging Face, Meta, Mistral, and more
Microsoft Build 2025 – New features include:
- Azure AI Agent Service for building complex, workflow-driven agents
- Agentic retrieval in Azure AI Search
- Integration with Copilot Studio
This positions Azure as a one-stop platform for developing, tuning, and deploying advanced AI agents.
NLWeb: The Foundation of the Agentic Web
Another groundbreaking innovation is NLWeb, an open-source protocol designed to bring natural language interfaces to the web. Developers can:
- Integrate AI-driven chat interfaces using a few lines of code
- Allow users to query site content in plain language
- Leverage existing structured data like Schema.org and RSS
Functioning as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, NLWeb enables websites to interact with AI agents securely, aligning with Microsoft’s mission of building an open, interoperable agentic internet.
Microsoft Discovery: Accelerating Scientific Breakthroughs
Finally, Microsoft unveiled Discovery, a next-gen research platform powered by agentic AI. Designed for R&D teams, Discovery:
- Automates hypothesis generation and testing
- Simulates results using large datasets
- Supports cross-functional collaboration in science and engineering
A notable use case demonstrated the discovery of a potential new coolant that avoids harmful forever chemicals.
