Microsoft is significantly expanding its AI capabilities to the edge, empowering developers with tools to create innovative AI agents. This strategic move, unveiled at Build 2025, focuses on enabling smarter and faster experiences across various devices. Unlike previous strategies centered on single-use AI assistants, Microsoft is now emphasizing dynamic agents that seamlessly integrate with third-party systems through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This shift aims to create broader, integrated ecosystems where agents can operate across diverse use cases and integrate with any digital infrastructure.
Microsoft is empowering developers by offering the OpenAI Responses API, which allows the combination of MCP servers, code interpreters, reasoning, web search, and RAG within a single API call. This capability enables the development of next-generation AI agents. Among the announcements at Build 2025 were a platform to build on-device agents, the ability to bring AI to web apps on the Edge browser, and developer capabilities to deploy bots directly on Windows. The company hopes the developments will lead to broader use of AI technologies and a significant increase in the number of daily active users. Microsoft is already demonstrating the impact of its agentic AI platform, Azure AI Foundry, in healthcare, including streamlining cancer care planning. In addition to their AI initiatives, Microsoft has introduced a new AI-powered orchestration system that streamlines the complex process of cancer care planning. This orchestration system, available through the Azure AI Foundry Agent Catalog, brings together specialized AI agents to assist clinicians with the analysis of multimodal medical data, from imaging and genomics to clinical notes and pathology. Early adopters include Stanford Health Care, Johns Hopkins, Providence Genomics, and UW Health.

Microsoft is aggressively pushing artificial intelligence to the edge, demonstrating advancements in various applications at Build 2025. A key focus is enabling developers to build dynamic AI agents that integrate into browsers, websites, operating systems, and everyday workflows. This strategic shift moves away from standalone AI assistants towards integrated ecosystems where agents can operate across multiple use cases and seamlessly connect with digital infrastructure. The company aims to empower human workers by partnering them with autonomous agents, enhancing overall productivity through these AI-driven collaborations.
Microsoft is also making significant strides in weather forecasting with its new AI model, Aurora. This model promises accurate 10-day forecasts in seconds, potentially revolutionizing how weather predictions are made. Unlike traditional models, Aurora doesn't rely on the laws of physics, allowing it to generate results much faster. Beyond weather, Aurora's capabilities extend to forecasting other environmental elements like air pollution and cyclones, demonstrating its versatility and potential impact on various Earth systems. Microsoft is currently running this model in Europe's largest weather centers. In addition to environmental forecasting, Microsoft has introduced Magentic-UI, an open-source agent prototype designed to collaborate with users in completing complex tasks that require multi-step planning and browser use. Unlike autonomous agents that may sideline user control, Magentic-UI blends automation with real-time human input, leading to more accurate and trusted results. This approach addresses the challenge of visibility and intervention in web-based tasks, allowing users to guide and supervise agent behavior dynamically. This ensures that AI-driven actions align with user expectations and goals, especially in scenarios involving critical decisions.
