Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

It was all about AI agents at Microsoft's Build developer conference, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joining to talk about the future of AI coding.

Microsoft introduces Windows AI Foundry to help developers build and run AI models directly on PCs, part of a broader push to bring AI to the device.

Microsoft and xAI are coming together for their first major partnership. Announced at Microsoft’s Build developer conference, the company is including xAI’s Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini on the list of models available through Azure AI Foundry.

Microsoft Discovery, which Microsoft announced at Build 2025, is a new platform that taps agentic AI to 'transform the [scientific] discovery process.'

File Explorer is getting a new option for ‘AI actions’ in its context-sensitive right-click menu. That means when you right-click a file, you’ll get extra context-based choices for working with AI abilities. To begin with – and remember, this is still in testing – there are four actions that relate to image files.

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott calls for open standards to shape the emerging ‘agentic web,’ drawing lessons from the browser wars.

Web developers will be able to start leveraging on-device AI in Microsoft’s Edge browser soon, using new APIs that can give their web apps access to Microsoft’s Phi-4-mini model, the company announced at its Build conference today.
