Microsoft is revolutionizing software development with the introduction of intelligent agents, which will join your team to enhance collaboration and productivity. This new approach, called agentic DevOps, aims to break free from the grind by automating tasks, improving code quality, accelerating collaboration, strengthening security, and addressing technical debt.
GitHub Copilot has already transformed the way developers code, with 15 million users relying on it for faster development. The new coding agent levels up Copilot’s capabilities, working like a full-fledged team member to act fast and keep things running smoothly.
The agent can assist with modernizing legacy Java and .NET apps, handling code assessments, dependency updates, and remediation. Additionally, the SRE Agent for Azure helps developers resolve issues faster by continuously tracking health and performance across various environments.
Beyond these announcements, Microsoft is also releasing GitHub Models to make building AI apps easier. This new integration allows users to experiment with cutting-edge models from OpenAI, Meta, and other providers directly in their GitHub workflow.
As GitHub Copilot continues to evolve, its capabilities will be open-sourced in Visual Studio Code, reflecting the company’s commitment to transparency and community-driven innovation. Join Microsoft at Build 2025 to see these announcements and experience the future of software development with intelligent agents.
