Building the future with Microsoft and GitHub AI Agents

A discussion on Azure AI, GitHub Copilot SDK and the Foundry Agent Service 

In this episode of Grey Matter Talks Tech, host Sam Barnes (Azure Solutions Specialist) is joined by Guy Gregory, Partner Solution Architect at Microsoft, to explore the rapidly evolving world of Azure and GitHub‑powered AI agents.

The conversation dives into what’s shaping AI right now - from the latest AI models and coding agents to the growing importance of agent‑driven development. Guy explains how GitHub Copilot has evolved from code completion into a full developer platform with the GitHub Copilot SDK, and how it fits into Microsoft’s wider vision for AI‑powered applications.

You’ll also hear practical insights into the Foundry Agent Service and Microsoft Agent Framework, including how organisations can build, secure and observe AI agents at scale using Azure’s AI ecosystem.

Here's a clip of the demo of how easily Guy can use an AI Agent to create an expenses report:

They also discuss the highlights from the February 2026 Microsoft AI Tour which took place in London.

Whether you’re a developer, SaaS builder or technology leader, this episode offers a clear view of where AI agents are heading next - and how to start navigating the AI agent landscape with confidence.
