"While the company was careful not to commit to delivering anything, it said it was working to keep Copilot rapid as context grows, kicking off early work to integrate the Copilot CLI into Visual Studio Copilot, and taking initial steps toward a dedicated agent for multi-step task planning and execution. It also said it would handle scenarios where Copilot and IntelliSense trip over each other or where suggestions appear at the same time."
"Microsoft has been relentlessly shoveling AI assistants into its venerable code wrangler in recent years, but has now stated: "We're shifting focus to reliability and refinement." Sadly, that focus does not extend to dealing with the occasionally clunky and bloated set of tools that have evolved over decades. Instead, Microsoft is focusing on "tightening core workflows, improving agent stability, and building on the MCP foundations we've been laying.""
Microsoft is shifting Visual Studio AI efforts toward reliability, refinement, and predictable developer workflows. The company plans to tighten core workflows, improve agent stability, and build on MCP foundations. Work includes keeping Copilot responsive as context grows, integrating the Copilot CLI into Visual Studio Copilot, and initiating a dedicated agent for multi-step task planning and execution. Microsoft will resolve conflicts between Copilot and IntelliSense by prioritizing IntelliSense completions because they are more predictable. IntelliSense remains the fundamental code-completion feature with a long history, while many non-AI legacy tools and bloat still need attention.
