Several of the more interesting and potentially impactful announcements were related to AI agents and applications running on PCs.
- On the development side, the company debuted the Github Copilot coding agent, designed to make the process of creating AI-powered applications and other agents much easier. For non-programmer users, it debuted a set of low-code/no code tools for agent creation, including Copilot Studio.

- In addition to offering a range of new agent-related tools, Microsoft also made several significant announcements related to developing standards at Build.
