This week saw major advances in AI-powered coding tools that can work more independently. Microsoft expanded its Copilot tools with new features like Researcher and Analyst agents that help workers find information and make decisions faster. Google introduced a toolkit for building AI agents that can talk to each other safely, used by big companies like Salesforce.

Developers got exciting updates too. GitHub Copilot added an agent mode that lets the AI plan coding tasks and fix errors on its own in VS Code. A new ranking showed GitHub Copilot Agent, Cursor, and Devin AI as top tools for writing code with less human help.

Businesses are saving time using these agentic AI tools. For example, sales teams use Microsoft's Sales Agent to find new customers automatically, while IT departments fix tech issues faster with self-solving AI.
