Today, we’re 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.Disclaimer: The items outlined here represent ongoing work for the month. They are not commitments or guarantees for delivery within the current month. Upvote the features you or your organization care about most, so we know what to prioritize. With that said, here is what we are working on!New AgentsWe’re streamlining how you find and switch between modes and making sure both built-in and extension-provided agents can handle more complex workflows.

This sprint, we’re focused on reaching MCP full spec, improving UX and enhancing your governance controls. Improve MCP Sampling Window UX Performance and token usage optimizations for MCP servers Visual Studio enables governance for MCP servers MCP Unified UX Experience ModelsWe’re 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. Auto model in Chat GPT 5 Codex in Chat Improve Model UX for Soon to be Deprecated Models Different System prompts per model 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—not just for writing code, but also for searching, fixing errors, writing unit tests, and even committing and pushing your changes.We’re excited for you to try these new experiences soon.
