Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella unveiled the company’s biggest product moves, including Copilot and Azure updates, developer tools, and more, during this week’s Build conference in Seattle.

“We’ve entered the era of AI agents. Thanks to groundbreaking advancements in reasoning and memory, AI models are now more capable and efficient, and we’re seeing how AI systems can help us all solve problems in new ways,” said Satya Nadella.

As an example, the company mentioned that 15 million developers are already using GitHub Copilot, streamlining the way they code, check, deploy, and troubleshoot.

Hundreds of thousands of customers are using Microsoft 365 Copilot to help research, brainstorm and develop solutions, and more than 230,000 organizations — including 90% of the Fortune 500 — have already used Copilot Studio to build AI agents and automations.

The Multi-Agent Orchestration, or how multiple specialized AI agents work together to accelerate work, was one of the notorious announcements.

One example was an onboarding process handled by several agents: one managed human resources paperwork, another set up IT accounts, and a third scheduled training sessions. Each agent handled its part and reported back, with the system summarizing the results for the user.

In sales, one agent pulled CRM data, another drafted a proposal, and a third scheduled follow-ups in Outlook.

Microsoft announced that it is moving toward an open, connected agent ecosystem, with Model Context Protocol (MCP), a protocol that lets agents securely access data and services across platforms, and NLWeb, a system that helps websites become accessible to AI agents via natural language.

The goal is to create an environment where agents can collaborate and interact freely across the web and different apps, no matter who built them or where they run.

Also, the company presented its Agent Store, a platform where users can access and deploy various AI agents, including those built by Microsoft and third-party developers, within the Microsoft 365 Copilot and other Microsoft services. These agents are designed to perform specific tasks, such as summarizing documents, generating code, or managing meetings, and can be customized for individual needs or business requirements.
