"The future will be for AI agents capable of working together on any task, even the most complex" Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, May 19, 2025.
During the 'Build 2025' event, Microsoft announced enormous interest in AI agents and the importance of the agentverse. With over 230,000 organizations already using them, digital transformation through AI is gaining real momentum. Microsoft is now betting on the future and the widespread use of this technology.
The highlights of this evolution:
Copilot Studio: creating custom AI agents to automate complex business processes.
Azure AI Foundry: a platform for deploying AI agent solutions at scale.
Interconnection of AI agents: multiple agents can work together to accomplish complex tasks under human supervision.
Impact on Fetch.ai:
This growing adoption of AI agents and multi-agent orchestration shows interest in this technology, which could work in favor of Fetch.ai, the only company in the creation and autonomy of agents. Fetch could benefit from this global adoption of AI through its decentralized network. While Microsoft focuses on centralized solutions for large enterprises, Fetch.ai offers an open, decentralized model perfectly aligned with the future of emerging technologies.
Microsoft can help legitimize the concept — and thus help Fetch.ai indirectly.
Microsoft's entry into agentic AI is a very strong signal for the market; it validates that:
The future will consist of intelligent, interactive, specialized AI agents.
Institutional investors will be interested in this field, beyond pure LLMs (chat gpt…).
Alternative solutions like Fetch.ai may benefit from a 'halo' effect: those looking for a decentralized alternative will logically turn to them.
They are the only ones with this constantly evolving and adopted network of agents over the last 5 years.
Impact on all fields: medicine, ecology, logistics, energy, learning, education, finance, etc.
Enables the automation of thousands of tasks without human intervention, fully autonomously. Time savings, cost savings, energy optimization, future connected cities, etc.
Beginning of a possible progression towards AGI within several years… (maximum level of AI, surpassing human intelligence)
