GitHub Copilot has a new coding agent\u2014and it\u2019s ready to join your team. From planning to production, the entire software development lifecycle is being reimagined through intelligent agents\u2014with you at the helm. At Microsoft Build 2025, we\u2019re diving into the seismic shift happening in software development\u2014and unveiling the future we\u2019ll build together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get started with GitHub Copilot<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just a few weeks ago, as we celebrated Microsoft\u2019s fiftieth anniversary, we reflected on the original vision: a \u201csoftware factory.\u201d From the start, Microsoft has been built by developers, for developers. Now as we enter our fifty-first year, we\u2019re reimagining what that factory looks like\u2014with you at the center of a new era of software creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a developer is like being a wizard: you dream up what\u2019s possible and bring it to life with code. But as apps and systems grow more complex, demands increase, and technical debt piles up, the magic can fade. Coding turns into maintenance and momentum stalls. We want to help you break free from the grind\u2014so you can rediscover the joy, your flow, and the magic of building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GitHub Copilot<\/a> has already transformed the way we code\u2014which is why 15 million developers rely on it to build faster. But writing new code is just one small part of the job. The rest of a developer\u2019s day is packed with designing systems, digging through docs, debugging, refactoring, and wrestling with legacy code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where agentic workflows with GitHub Copilot<\/a> come in. They\u2019re helping us move faster from idea to production, boost code quality, accelerate collaboration, strengthen security, and now address technical debt and keep apps running smoothly in production.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing agentic DevOps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the foundation of a new approach we\u2019re calling agentic DevOps<\/strong>\u2014the next evolution of DevOps, reimagined for a world where intelligent agents collaborate with you and <\/em>with each other. The agents automate and optimize every stage of the software lifecycle. It\u2019s like adding a crew of tireless teammates to your developer squad\u2014handling bug fixes, small features, documentation, and more\u2014so you can stay focused on the work that matters most.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the old world, software development was a long, slow relay\u2014weeks to plan, months to build, quarters to launch. Today, ideas become prototypes in hours and reach production in days. Agentic DevOps will help you build faster, crush your backlog, cancel tech debt, secure your apps, and keep it all running in production. The best part is we keep you at the center of this orchestra, conducting agents, and approving recommendations, so you can get back to building epic stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GitHub Copilot is your path out of the grind\u2014so you can build with joy, escape the mundane, and find that creative spark that brought you to this industry in the first place. It\u2019s so much more than code completion: Copilot is already reviewing code, surfacing vulnerabilities, and helping resolve them before they reach production. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new and how it all fits together to make agentic DevOps a reality. Don\u2019t forget to check out Thomas Dohmke\u2018s, GitHub CEO, take on the latest with GitHub Copilot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
