Microsoft’s Vision for Open Agentic Web

At Build 2025, Microsoft unveiled its vision for an “open agentic web,” introducing a range of new AI tools and significant upgrades.

Key highlights:

• GitHub Copilot evolves from a basic coding assistant to a more advanced, asynchronous AI agent. Microsoft has also open-sourced Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code.

• The company introduced Magentic-UI, an open-source research prototype designed for human-in-the-loop web agents, emphasising user control and collaboration.

• Azure AI Foundry now includes Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini models from xAI, giving developers access to a selection of over 1,900 AI models.

• A new open project called NLWeb aims to standardise conversational web interfaces—essentially acting as the "HTML of the agentic web."

• Copilot has been enhanced with customisation features, enabling organisations to fine-tune models using their own data and supporting multi-agent collaboration for complex business workflows.

OpenAI Unveils Codex: AI Agent for Developers

OpenAI has launched Codex, a cloud-based software engineering agent designed to autonomously manage multiple development tasks at once.

Key details:

• Codex is powered by Codex-1, a version of OpenAI’s o3 model specifically fine-tuned for software development.

• It runs in secure, isolated cloud environments and is capable of writing new features, fixing bugs, answering questions about the codebase, and running tests.

• Developers can provide custom instructions through AGENTS.md files, which guide Codex on how to navigate the code, perform tests, and follow project-specific standards.

• Initially, Codex is available to ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, and Team users, with plans to roll it out under a rate-limited model and offer options for expanded access.

LLMs Struggle with Multi-Turn Conversations

Both YouTube and Netflix have introduced new AI-powered ad formats, with YouTube launching "Peak Points" to place ads after emotionally charged content, and Netflix planning to use AI-generated ads that blend products into their shows' visuals.

Key Details:

• YouTube’s "Peak Points" leverages Gemini AI to analyze videos and serve ads after the most thrilling or emotional moments in the content.

• Netflix is developing AI-generated ads that will integrate brand products into show backgrounds, inspired by the programs themselves.

• Netflix’s approach will feature midroll ads during viewing and pause ads, with interactive elements and CTAs expected to roll out in late 2025.
