Microsoft Previews Major AI Integrations and Updates before Conference

New AI integrations, Copilot improvements, and possible AI model announcements for Windows and software services will all be revealed at Microsoft's Build conference.

Microsoft's annual Build developer conference is scheduled from 19 to 22 May, the week after. Announcements about new AI services, apps, and integrations, including for Windows, will undoubtedly be made during the event.

The keynotes will be available for free online streaming. Regarding what to anticipate, there is reason to think that Microsoft will reveal more extensive integrations between its Copilot generative AI and a number of its software products, both for consumers and businesses.

Last November, the business increased the cost of many of its software products by 5%, including Microsoft 365, Office 365, and Windows 365. The business might launch new AI-powered tools and capabilities to support these raises.

Copilot will probably be the main attraction at Build, and significant updates may be coming. According to reports, as the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI deteriorates, Microsoft is exploring alternative AI models from xAI, Meta, Anthropic, and DeepSeek as potential substitutes for OpenAI technology in Copilot.

Copilot may acquire agentic capabilities on Windows, enabling the technician to carry out routine PC duties without assistance. Prominent leaker TestingCatalog claims that references to an Action icon in the Copilot client for Microsoft can initiate specific daily chores when clicked.

According to reports, Microsoft has created a family of models known as MAI that rival OpenAI's and that the tech giant is thinking of making available via an API. Microsoft may choose to reveal these during Build.
