Debugging isn’t just about fixing code; it’s about reducing uncertainty. We’re taking a massive leap toward solving that problem by introducing a new, upgraded, guided workflow within our existing Debugger Agent in Visual Studio.

Working with Copilot for debugging and profiling is now much easier with dedicated agents.
Just select the Debugger or Profiler Agent to get all the context-aware help you need to diagnose and optimize your application instantly.

🤖✨ Visual Studio just got a whole squad of agents — and they’re not your average “chatbot.”
🕵️♀️ Debugger Agent → reads your call stacks diagnostics like a pro
⚡ Profiler Agent → hunts bottlenecks using real VS profiling data
🧪 Test Agent → generates tests that match YOUR project’s patterns
🛠️ Modernize Agent → upgrades .NET/C projects with awareness of your graph
And the best part?
🧩 You can build your own custom agents — wired into your repos, docs, APIs, design systems, and more.
Teams are already crafting:
• PR reviewers tied to their style guides
• Design‑system enforcers linked to Figma
• Planning agents that gather requirements before you write a line of code
Dive into how it all works how to start building your own 👇

A super easy way for me to optimize performance of my .NET application using my existing unit tests, the built-in profiler, and Copilot to tie it all together into a single click of a button.
Coming to Visual Studio 2026 very soon...

We’ve been dogfooding the Profiler Agent in Visual Studio, and today it shaved off 800K allocations during VS startup, saving about 50MB of heap right out of the gate.

See how the Profiler Agent helped track down hidden bottlenecks in CsvHelper.
It highlights real performance issues, breaks down the “why,” recommends optimizations, writes benchmarks, and validates your gains; all inside Visual Studio.
