Code review shouldn’t force a context switch. Visual Studio now lets devs review, comment, approve, and merge GitHub/Azure DevOps PRs inside the IDE—without checking out unless needed. What PR step still breaks your flow? Read more: devblogs.microsoft.com/visua…

Claude Fable 5 in Microsoft 365 Copilot matters less as “another model” and more as a governance test: right workflow right users right data right controls Enterprise AI is now an operating decision. What would you enable first? Read: techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

Your best AI workflow isn’t a better prompt. It’s a versioned file your team can review. Custom agents turn Copilot CLI from one-off help into repeatable execution. What workflow would you encode first? github.blog/ai-and-ml/github…

Your AI agent doesn’t need better prompts. It needs blast-radius control. Run generated code outside your app. Deny risky actions. Fail-close the network. Govern the runtime, not the vibe. Read more: techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

SRE agents shouldn’t be another portal to check. Azure’s MCP move turns them into infrastructure you can query from your IDE, terminal, or assistant. The shift: ops context enters the dev flow. What would you automate first? techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

The best AI coding tools slow you down first. @VisualStudio’s May update gets this right: Plan before edits, show context usage, review multi-file diffs in one place. AI generation is easy. Trustworthy change management is the hard part. Lear more: devblogs.microsoft.com/visua…

Most AI events teach tools. The best ones change how developers think. Join developers in Houston for a free, hands-on Microsoft AI Agent Open Hack using Foundry, VS Code, and GitHub Copilot. Sign up here: ms-workshops.cloudevents.ai/…

AI coding’s bottleneck isn’t writing code anymore. It’s reviewing, securing, governing, and shipping it. The teams that win won’t just prompt better. They’ll orchestrate better. Read more: github.blog/ai-and-ml/github…

Most AI agent demos teach complexity first, clarity later. @lee_stott's Foundry Agent Lab flips it: 9 demos, 1 new primitive at a time, same SDK, same model-router deployment. That’s how devs learn what matters. Read the lab. Steal the structure. techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

The best session catalog is an agent that understands what you are building. Build CLI flips it: it reads project dependencies, finds relevant Microsoft Build sessions, then helps you scaffold from what you learned. Less browsing. More building. github.com/microsoft/Build-C…

AI agents won’t replace engineers. Coordination drag will. The hard part isn’t detection. It’s chasing vendors, validating fixes, & closing loops. Agents win when they carry context until work is done. What workflow is your biggest coordination debt? techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

The commit is no longer the atomic unit of delivery. In AgenticOps, the spec is. Agents write code. Evals gate it. Refusal rules bound it. Humans review intent. That is the shift Copilot teams need to understand. Read AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot: techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

The UI is becoming the new API. Computer-using agents can automate work trapped inside portals, desktop apps, and legacy systems. Not by chatting. By doing the work. What legacy workflow would you automate first? #AIAgents Read More: techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

AI agent governance fails when review happens after damage. Agent 365 Purview move controls to runtime: block labeled files, stop sensitive sends, log the trail. Can your team prove what each agent did? Learn more: techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

AI agents don’t fail in demos. They fail in workflows. Microsoft’s Agent Evaluations preview points to the real bar: tests for coherence, grounding, and multi-turn tasks. Stop vibe-checking agents. Start scoring them. Try the CLI: devblogs.microsoft.com/micro…

Your agentic CI bill is probably hiding in “reads.” If an agent uses LLM turns to fetch diffs, labels, or comments, you’re paying for reasoning where none is needed. Move deterministic reads before the agent starts. Read the breakdown: github.blog/ai-and-ml/github…
