BREAKING: Microsoft just dropped the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Copilot Studio.

No more manual updates, no more endless maintenance—connect once, and your agents automatically stay fresh with real-time updates.

With MCP, building agents just got easier:

⚡ Instant Action: Connect once, stay updated forever. MCP auto-syncs new features straight into your Copilot agents.

🌐 Marketplace Power: Plug into pre-built MCP connectors or craft your own. Your data, your rules, enterprise-grade security.

🚀 Customize & Extend: Full SDK support means zero limits. Build the integrations your business demands.

Stop playing the manual-update game. This is automation without the babysitting.

Microsoft just dropped Model Context Protocol in Copilot Studio. Go leverage it before someone else does.

@KennyYukich Any cool skills you would add?

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

BREAKING: Copilot Studio's new designer is showing up in early access.

And there's a lot more going on here than a fresh UI.

>Skills
>Microsoft IQ
>Tools
>Knowledge
>Connected agents

The part I’m locked in on is Skills.

Microsoft already supports code interpreter in agents, which means Python-backed execution is already in the mix.
Now Skills is showing up as a first-class part of the designer.

Early access, so I’m keeping the claims tight.

Copilot Studio is getting a much more structured agent architecture.

Microsoft wins

OpenClaw now works securely on Windows. #microsoftbuild 🦞

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

@AndyAZ Yes! 🙌 This makes it consistent across all agentic platforms!

LETS GO!!

MAI-Thinking-1 is Microsoft AI’s flagship reasoning model.

>Built from scratch.
>No third-party model distillation.
>Designed for coding, math, agents, and enterprise deployment.

Microsoft is no longer just distributing frontier models.

They are building them as well!

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

Microsoft just announced 7 new AI models built in-house.

Built by Microsoft AI.

Human first.
Microsoft-built AI.
Directly inside the products people already use.

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

MAI-Transcribe-1.5 is insane.

>43 languages.
>Domain-aware transcription.
>Up to 5x faster on long audio than competing models.
>An hour of audio in under 15 seconds.

For meetings, contact centers, captions, voice agents, and enterprise workflows, this is a serious move.

Microsoft just showed the next shape of Copilot "the Super App"

>Chat.
>Cowork.
>Code.
>Autopilots.

One Copilot surface.
One place to work with AI across the full stack.

This is the Frontier opportunity. 🧵👇

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

Autopilots are the monster announcement.

- Long-running autonomous agents.
- Always on.
- Their own identity.
- Acting on your behalf under enterprise controls.

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

The canvas demo was the sneaky huge moment.

AI can SEE what’s happening.

- Not just read files.
- Not just inspect logs.

It can look at the UI, understand what changed, and help review the experience.

That changes how we think about frontend work.

Microsoft just announced the new GitHub Copilot app at Build.

Agent sessions from your GitHub work.
Parallel sessions in isolated worktrees and branches.
PRs driven from review to merge.

GitHub Copilot is moving from coding assistant to full developer workflow.

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

Rubber Duck mode.

Copilot can bring in another model to review the plan.

In the demo, it requested Claude Opus 4.8 to look over the approach.

That’s a big signal.

The future is not one model doing everything.
It’s orchestration.

Special guest: OpenClaw founder on stage.

Copilot CLI.
Codex.
Bring your own plugin.
Local agents.
Windows companion apps.
Sandboxed execution.

Microsoft is lining up Windows to be the secure home for serious agents.

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

Microsoft Build just showed OpenClaw coming together with Windows.

Local agents are getting real OS-level treatment now.

Not random scripts.
Not wild-west desktop automation.

Windows is putting rails around the agent era.

[Josh Cook | Microsoft MVP @FlowAltDelete]

Custom folders.

This is exactly the kind of detail builders should pay attention to.

Don’t give an agent your whole machine.

Give it the folder.
Give it the permission.
Give it the boundary.

That’s how real agent workflows survive enterprise.
