As we heard from Kyle Daigle, Chief Operating Officer, GitHub, on stage this week, it is &#8220;the new era of collaboration.&#8221; Agents have become an integral part of software development already, taking on manual, repetitive coding tasks so developers can focus on complex problem-solving and creative, higher impact work. Developers have been at the forefront of AI from the beginning. They are showing us how agents can break down traditional roles, redefine processes, and introduce a scaling effect so we can build AI-powered solutions as quickly as we can dream them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GitHub_25-327.jpg\" alt=\"Kyle Daigle, GitHub Chief Operating Officer, at the GitHub Universe 2025 event. \" class=\"wp-image-47550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GitHub_25-327.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GitHub_25-327-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GitHub_25-327-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GitHub_25-327-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GitHub_25-327-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GitHub is supporting every developer, on every language, and running locally or in any cloud, as they set an example for every other business function on the role of AI.
