Summary
Microsoft has released a raft of tools and platforms to help developers create autonomous systems at its Build conference, including memory-related technologies to enable AI systems to recall information.
“We’ve entered the era of AI agents”, according to Frank Shaw, Microsoft’s chief communications officer, who explained that the technology evolves the current AI landscape from reactive systems to those with persistent memory.
Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot coding agent can now act as a member of a software team, autonomously refactoring code and implementing new features, among other capabilities.
Other introductions include Azure AI Foundry, which allows developers to build enterprise-grade AI agents and Windows AI Foundry for local AI development, as the company pushes the technology beyond cloud-based AI.
