Summary
At its Build 2025 conference, Microsoft announced upgrades to its Copilot Studio platform, including multi-agent systems that allow AI agents to collaborate on business tasks and new tools for developers.
Multi-agent systems enable several AI agents to work together to complete complex operations, improving reliability and simplifying solution construction, according to Microsoft’s VP of AI Agents, Ray Smith.
Furthermore, the platform’s ‘computer use’ feature allows agents to interact with desktop apps and websites by managing interfaces directly, even when APIs are unavailable.
Microsoft also plans to allow businesses to publish Copilot Studio agents to WhatsApp, allowing them to reach consumers through one of the world’s most popular messaging platforms.
These enhancements place Microsoft in a strong position in the battle for enterprise AI, competing with the like of Google, Amazon, and specialised AI startups.
