Microsoft Build – Practical Knowledge for Developers
Microsoft consistently shares knowledge and promotes its solutions within IT communities. This year, the main topic of the Microsoft Build conference was how to create AI agents. “Microsoft wants to help every developer build apps and agents that enhance human capabilities and support organizations worldwide,” summarized Satya Nadella.
Microsoft Build is an annual event aimed primarily at developers, software engineers, and technology partners. It’s a space where the company showcases its latest innovations, shares expertise, and sets the direction for the development of the Microsoft ecosystem.
The 14th edition of Microsoft Build, held on May 19, 2025, brought over 50 technology announcements – solutions designed to support developers in building scalable, modern applications and AI services.
Microsoft Build 2025 – Key Announcements
In his keynote, Satya Nadella emphasized a shift in Microsoft’s approach to artificial intelligence toward an “open agent network.” Microsoft is building an ecosystem of intelligent agents that cooperate with users and applications in a far more autonomous way than previous tools like Copilot.
Top 5 Announcements from Microsoft Build 2025:
- Coding Agent
GitHub Copilot is no longer just a supporting assistant – it can now independently handle tasks assigned on GitHub, such as bug fixing or feature additions. - Copilot Customization
Copilot can now be tailored to a specific company’s language and style, increasing its usefulness within organizations and improving communication efficiency. - Foundry – Agent Factory
Microsoft is launching Foundry, a platform for creating AI agents that supports various models (e.g., from Meta, Mistral, Hugging Face). It also introduces new integrations with Azure AI and Copilot Studio. - NL Web – Natural Language for the Web
A new project enabling interaction with and control of websites through natural language – essentially, a new form of HTML for intelligent agents. - Microsoft Discovery
A new tool combining AI and simulations for experimentation, idea testing, and learning. Example: AI identifies new, safer, non-toxic chemicals to be used as coolants.
A New Era for AI – From Assistant to Partner
In the business world, AI is no longer just a helper but an independent executor. Microsoft is clearly steering AI development toward agents that are not just tools but full-fledged participants in digital processes. This shift may significantly impact how software is created and deployed – from source code to industrial solutions.
