Microsoft Build 2025: What to expect from Copilot, Windows 11 and AI agents

Many exciting announcements and updates are expected at Microsoft’s Build 2025 conference, which runs from May 19-22, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence and the integration of Copilot into the Windows 11 ecosystem. Here are the highlights that may be covered at the event:

Deep AI integration in Windows 11
Microsoft will continue to develop the concept of AI agents that can perform tasks on behalf of the user. Expect to see discussion of new features, such as the introduction of an AI agent in the Settings app that can automatically make changes to system settings. We should also expect updates to Explorer and the Start menu that will make it easier to find and install applications.

Copilot Vision
One of the key features that Microsoft could demonstrate is Copilot Vision – the ability for an AI assistant to see and interact with a user’s desktop. The feature is already available on mobile devices, and expanding it to desktop systems would be a major step forward. Participants in the pre-evaluation program already have access to the feature, but details about its launch to a wider audience may be announced at the conference.
New Researcher tool for Copilot
Microsoft may announce expanded functionality for the “Researcher” tool, which uses the OpenAI o3 reasoning model to gather information from a variety of sources. The tool is currently only available to Microsoft 365 subscribers, but there’s a possibility that the company will consider bringing it into the free version of Copilot.
