Microsoft is encouraging developers to build next-gen AI agents for Windows 11, as Copilot alone isn’t enough

Microsoft is urging developers to create advanced AI agents for Windows 11, emphasizing that Copilot alone is insufficient. The company is promoting the development of 'agentic' experiences on Windows 11, introducing support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) for generative AI access. Windows 11 now features a toggle for "Experiential agentic experiences" to enable AI agents to run continuously in the background. Microsoft aims to transform Windows 11 into an agentic OS by encouraging third-party apps with unique AI experiences. The company acknowledges the need for diverse AI features and aims to enhance Windows 11's utility with AI capabilities.
