Microsoft Build 2025 –an incredible four days, 300+ sessions and 60 new product and services announcements with AI at the center! This year, we laid out a bold vision for the next generation of AI moving from reactive assistants to proactive, collaborative agents that drive outcomes across systems, tools, and data. There were so many inspiring moments and announcements, with a few highlights:   The Open Agentic Web: Satya Nadella introduced the concept of an open agentic web. AI agents like calendar managers, content creators, and supply chain optimizers working together to manage complexity and deliver business value at scale. GitHub Copilot Evolves: Copilot has matured into an autonomous agent, now capable of debugging, implementing features, and answering code-related queries—cutting down time-to-value for developers. Sam Altman on Codex Agents: Joined by Sam Altman, Satya spotlighted the launch of Codex agents what Sam called “one of the biggest changes to programming.” His message was clear: “We haven’t seen many technological shifts like this in history but leaning in early and hard has always been rewarded.” Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure AI Advances With fine-tuned Copilot capabilities and over 1,900 models now in Azure AI (including Grok 3), partners and customers have more tools than ever to build, scale, and differentiate.   The biggest key takeaway - AI agents are here and are unleashing opportunities for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as partners.  For SMEs, it’s about driving productivity and scaling growth with fewer resources. For partners, it’s about delivering tailored, AI-powered solutions faster and creating new value for customers in the process.   Agentic AI is more than a concept, it is the engine of the next generation of business. Now is the time to build the skills and experiences needed to thrive in a world of human–AI collaboration. Read more about Microsoft Build and our latest announcements here: https://lnkd.in/ejqdsde7

#MSIgnite highlighted the power of ubiquitous innovation and how Frontier Firms are reshaping industries. These organizations are integrating AI across their full stacks and building custom agents grounded in their own data and processes. They are moving with greater clarity, speed, and ambition. This article from GeekWire on the Microsoft Experience Center One illustrates that shift. The space is more than a collection of demos. It shows how quickly agentic systems are moving from concept to real competitive advantage for companies like BlackRock, Mercedes-Benz AG, Ralph Lauren, and others. These systems perceive context, act across tools and data, and help teams achieve outcomes that once felt out of reach. The results speak for themselves. Organizations treating AI as a strategic capability are seeing stronger ROI, faster decision cycles, and new pathways to growth. Agentic systems are not just supporting work. They are expanding what people and organizations can achieve together. The real question is how organizations will choose to apply this next wave of capability to shape their future.

Thrilled to see the incredible impact Space Intelligence is driving using Microsoft Foundry and the Microsoft Planetary Computer. Their work mapping global forests at unprecedented scale is a powerful example of how cloud, AI, and ecological expertise can accelerate climate action. By moving to Microsoft Foundry, Space Intelligence achieved 100× faster data production and cut mapping time by 75%, enabling them to map 3 billion hectares across 50+ countries in just one year. #PlanetaryComputer #AIFoundry #Azure
