Microsoft Build 2025: When AI decides it no longer needs humans
This Monday, in Seattle, the Microsoft Build 2025 started, that event where the company tries to convince us that AI will not replace us (spoiler: yes it will). And as a good millennial show, he promised a website where AI agents communicate with each other as if they were influencers coordinating a collaborative TikTok. The goal? Let them make decisions for us, because we clearly don’t trust our own ability to choose between Netflix or a nap.
The new era: assistants who do not need assistance
Microsoft, in its quest to be the cool of technology, announced that it wants an open web where AI agents operate with as much independence as a teenager with a credit card. The idea is that these bots will not only answer questions, but also negotiate with each other, schedule meetings, and even discuss which pizza is best (probably more judicious than a group of drunk friends at 3 AM).
To achieve this, the company launched an arsenal of tools, including the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which is basically the WhatsApp of AIs, allowing them to gossip among themselves without us, mere mortals, understanding anything. They also introduced NLWeb, which integrates AI directly into websites, eliminating the need for external chatbots (and therefore the excuse for companies not to respond to messages).
The news that will make your work done by a bot
Among the gems that Microsoft dusted off at the event are:
- Azure AI Foundry: Now with Grok 3, capable of processing a million tokens (that is, more information than your brain retains after a night of partying).
- GitHub Copilot Agent: An assistant who reviews your code and suggests improvements, basically the “computer friend” that we all wanted to have but never had.
- Microsoft Edge PDF Translation: Translate entire PDFs, because reading in another language is so 2020.
- App Actions: Apps that appear when you need them, like that friend who always arrives just when there is free food.
And if that were not enough, SQL Server 2025 now comes with built-in AI, because even databases deserve to have a little self-awareness (or at least fake it).
The future? A website where AIs do everything and we… what?
Microsoft assures that this is just the beginning. Soon, AI agents will not only execute tasks, but also make strategic decisions, organize your life, and probably give you existential advice better than your therapist. The positive side? Maybe we can finally delegate those tedious Zoom meetings to a bot that, at least, won’t be distracted by memes.
Meanwhile, we’ll still be here, wondering if at some point the AI will realize that we don’t need it to choose between tacos or sushi.
