What's New · Issue #001 · AI & Copilot · May 2026

Microsoft Build 2026 delivered the clearest signal yet: the era of single-model AI assistants is over. Microsoft is betting everything on multi-agent orchestration — AI systems where specialised agents collaborate autonomously to complete complex tasks.

🤖 The 7 Announcements That Matter

  • Copilot Studio Multi-Agent GA — Build, deploy and monitor networks of specialised AI agents from a single canvas.
  • GitHub Copilot Coding Agent GA — Assign a GitHub issue, walk away, review the pull request.
  • Azure AI Foundry Agent Service — Enterprise-grade agent hosting with built-in memory, tool integration, and audit logging.
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 3 — Copilot can now take actions across Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint autonomously.
  • Phi-4 Mini on Device — Microsoft's smallest capable model now runs fully on-device on Windows Copilot+ PCs.
  • Power Platform Autonomous Agents — Power Automate flows can now be triggered and managed by AI agents.
  • MCP Server Native Support — Azure AI Foundry now natively supports Model Context Protocol.

💡 What This Means for MCT Trainers and Developers

If you deliver Power Platform, Azure AI, or GitHub training — your curriculum needs an agentic layer now. Copilot Studio and GitHub Copilot agent mode are exam-relevant for PL-200 and GH-300 respectively.
