What were some of the most surprising things for devs at Build 2026?
Microsoft Build 2026 lets developers build agents anywhere and surface them in M365 where people already work.
“you can build an agent anywhere”
At Build 2026, Microsoft unveiled the ability to build agents across M365, Foundry, GitHub, and Copilot Studio and surface them inside M365, powered by Work IQ, Web IQ, Foundry IQ, and Fabric IQ. It also debuted OpenClaw for Windows, an always-on background agent with enterprise guardrails. This matters because it signals Microsoft's push to make agents ambient and embedded in existing work surfaces rather than standalone destinations.
