This week brought exciting news about AI agents that are changing how programmers work. An AI coding agent from GitHub Copilot was shown off, and it can now write code, fix problems, and even create pull requests all by itself. This is making developers about 55% more productive, which means they can build apps much faster. Microsoft also launched their new Agent Framework at Build 2025, a tool that helps companies use multiple AI agents working together to build software. Over 70,000 organizations are already using Microsoft's AI tools, and major companies like Goldman Sachs are testing a tool called Devin, which acts like a robot programmer that can understand code and fix bugs on its own.

What makes these tools special is that they don't just suggest one line of code like older AI helpers did. Instead, they can plan out whole projects, break them into smaller tasks, and do multiple steps without someone telling them what to do each time. These AI agents can help new programmers learn faster, help teams work together better, test code, and even fix broken builds automatically. Salesforce also talked about the Agentic Enterprise at their Dreamforce 2025 conference, showing that smart AI agents are becoming a normal part of how big companies build software. The big question for companies now is not whether to use these tools, but how quickly they can start using them, because the ones that do it first will have a huge advantage over their competitors.
