At GitHub Universe 2025, the theme was clear: the flexibility to see, steer, and construct throughout brokers will deliver the best influence and GitHub is the platform that’s reworking and empowering how builders and brokers work collectively. As we heard from Kyle Daigle, Chief Working Officer, GitHub, on stage this week, it’s “the brand new period of collaboration.” Brokers have turn out to be an integral a part of software program growth already, taking over guide, repetitive coding duties so builders can concentrate on complicated problem-solving and inventive, increased influence work. Builders have been on the forefront of AI from the start. They’re displaying us how brokers can break down conventional roles, redefine processes, and introduce a scaling impact so we will construct AI-powered options as shortly as we will dream them up.
GitHub is supporting each developer, on each language, and operating domestically or in any cloud, as they set an instance for each different enterprise operate on the position of AI. This yr’s GitHub Universe occasion was a celebration of code and group, and a showcase of developer instruments, developer management, and developer alternative. Our mates at GitHub introduced key improvements to construct agentic apps with enterprise-grade safety, scalability, and belief. Now with Agent HQ—the open ecosystem that unites each agent on a single platform—there’s one mission management to assign, govern, and monitor a number of brokers in a single place. Microsoft helps flip this imaginative and prescient into velocity, delivering the infrastructure and merchandise builders have to construct what’s subsequent. The rise of brokers is a metamorphosis we first launched at Microsoft Construct, and it’s accelerating quick. By harnessing the complete energy of the Azure portfolio, agentic AI turns into greater than a productiveness enhance. It’s a strategic benefit.
Report-breaking development and momentum
GitHub’s Octoverse 2025 report, launched this week, affords an annual snapshot of worldwide software program growth traits, highlighted record-breaking development, and momentum throughout the developer ecosystem:
- 180M+ builders work and construct on GitHub.
- Almost 80% of builders new to GitHub use Copilot of their first week.
- 630M complete initiatives on GitHub, +121M in 2025, the largest yr but.
- 1.12B contributions to public and open supply repositories, +13% year-over-year.
- 4.3M+ AI-related repositories, close by double since 2023.
- TypeScript and Python are the 2 most used languages in 2025, signaling a shift pushed by AI preferences.
These numbers mirror a world motion—builders embracing AI, open supply, and cloud-native instruments to construct sooner and smarter. At Microsoft, we are buyer zero relating to leveraging AI each day throughout varied enterprise processes and workflows. Almost all of Microsoft’s engineers use GitHub Copilot as a part of their growth processes. Brokers will make us not solely extra environment friendly and sooner however basically reinvent how we work.
This transformation isn’t simply enterprise-led. As AI and agentic workflows are redefining how software program will get constructed, it was clear whereas in San Francisco this week, startups are on the forefront.
I work with startups all around the world constructing cutting-edge knowledge and AI options, and I see each day how GitHub Copilot makes it potential for startups to run leaner, benefit from their dev sources and ship sooner. It makes an enormous distinction when it comes to their high quality of output and time to market. GitHub Copilot is now the usual that’s powering the subsequent technology of AI options.

This subsequent period is about giving builders much more autonomy, intelligence, and infrastructure to assist organizations unlock new worth. When builders thrive, the enterprise thrives.
Microsoft Azure affords a full-stack platform that brings collectively AI-powered developer instruments, brokers, and enterprise-grade safety from cloud to edge. It’s a human-centered method to software program supply, designed to assist each group transfer sooner, construct smarter, and innovate with confidence. Brokers are altering the sport by aiding builders (and one another) throughout the complete lifecycle. Brokers can deal with bug fixes, documentation to code opinions, and deploy to Azure, so builders can concentrate on what they do finest: create.
- Now you can construct and deploy AI brokers end-to-end in Visible Studio Code with assist from GitHub Copilot. AI Toolkit for VS Code lets builders discover fashions and construct brokers the place they code—with analysis and tracing in a single place. Now, with prompt-first agent growth powered by GitHub Copilot and constructed on the Microsoft Agent Framework, builders can create, refine, and launch production-ready brokers sooner and extra intuitively than ever—all from inside their favourite editor.
- Azure MCP Server is now usually accessible, giving your brokers the facility of cloud and redefining how builders work together with Azure. Constructed on Mannequin Context Protocol (MCP), it may create a safe, standards-based bridge between Azure providers—like AKS, ACA, App Service, Cosmos DB, SQL, AI Foundry, and Cloth—and AI-powered instruments corresponding to GitHub Copilot. Think about managing cloud sources, producing infrastructure-as-code, and troubleshooting deployments—all by way of pure language, proper out of your favourite IDE or MCP-compatible consumer, and all aligned with Azure finest practices. Azure MCP Server accelerates innovation, eliminates context switching, and delivers enterprise-grade safety and scalability. It’s not only a software—it’s the way forward for clever cloud growth.
Fashionable app growth is in a brand new period—the place builders are transferring from writing code to orchestrating autonomous methods that perceive and act on intent. On the primary stage this week, Amanda Silver, Company Vice President and Head of Product for Apps and Brokers at Microsoft, showcased how Microsoft and GitHub Copilot work collectively to empower spec-driven growth, code technology with Azure context, immediate first agent creation, workflow orchestration, and operational excellence. Collectively, redefining how human creativity turns into production-ready innovation.
Turning into frontier begins right here
At Microsoft, we’re proud to be a part of this journey—offering the infrastructure and integration that make agentic growth actual for enterprises world wide.
GitHub Universe 2025 wasn’t only a showcase, it was a sign. AI is now the default expectation in software program growth, and agentic workflows have gotten the brand new commonplace. And with GitHub and Azure working collectively, we uniquely ship the instruments, platforms, and imaginative and prescient to assist each developer thrive.
We’re constructing that future alongside GitHub, our prospects, our startups and accomplice ecosystem, and the worldwide developer group. As a result of when the best instruments are within the palms of builders, transformation isn’t a query of if—it’s a matter of how briskly. When builders lead, innovation follows.
