Today, we\u2019re excited to share our public roadmap, which outlines the next steps in evolving Visual Studio with AI-powered agentic experiences. With every month, we aim to deliver smarter, faster, and more intuitive tools that enhance your coding experience.<\/p>\n
Disclaimer: The items outlined here represent ongoing work for the month. They are not commitments or guarantees for delivery within the current month. U<\/em>pvote the features you or your organization care about most, so we know what to prioritize.\u00a0With that said, here is what we are working on!<\/p>\n We are starting to bring remote agents like the GitHub Copilot Coding Agent into the platform as a native experience, and this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n We\u2019re streamlining how you find and switch between modes and making sure both built-in and extension-provided modes can handle more complex workflows. New agents are in progress:<\/p>\n We\u2019ve been listening to your feedback on Agent Mode and Chat, and we\u2019re making some big improvements.<\/p>\n Tool call improvements<\/p>\n Planning lead development<\/p>\n Performance and response quality are the biggest themes we\u2019ve heard in feedback. Improving them is our top priority, and here\u2019s what we\u2019re tackling:<\/p>\n We want you to bring your entire development stack into Visual Studio, backed by the same security, governance, and trust you already expect from our product. This sprint, we\u2019re focused on reaching MCP full spec, improving UX and enhancing your governance controls.<\/p>\n We\u2019re committed to giving you access to the latest models, and in Visual Studio we carefully evaluate them to make sure you get the best possible experience. We are continuing to expand even further.<\/p>\n To make Visual Studio a truly AI-integrated IDE, we want to ensure that Copilot is seamlessly available at every step of your development workflow\u2014not just for writing code, but also for searching, fixing errors, writing unit tests, and even committing and pushing your changes.<\/p>\n We\u2019re excited for you to try these new experiences soon. If you have feedback, post it in the developer community ticket linked above. For other ideas or suggestions, drop a comment below or create a new ticket\u2014our team reviews them all.<\/p>\n Thanks \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, we\u2019re excited to share our public roadmap, which outlines the next steps in evolving Visual Studio with AI-powered agentic experiences.
