Copilot projects: agents across repos, in parallel
The new agent-first Copilot app runs managed agent sessions across multiple repositories at once, available in the app from launch. Fan work out across your whole org instead of babysitting one repo at a time.
One agent session, every surface
Session continuity lets you kick off a cloud agent session and resume the exact same one in the Copilot app, VS Code, the CLI, or github.com. No more re-pasting context every time you switch tools.
Code review gets a 'Max' tier
Copilot code review Max joins Lite and Balanced and posted the top F1 on ReviewBench for high-severity issues. Enterprises get it, the app, and automations with no separate subscription, paying only for the AI credits they use.
Gemini Robotics ER 2 hits public preview
Google opened its embodied-reasoning model in Model Garden: it plans multi-step robot tasks and verifies each step from video. Built on Gemini 3.5 Flash, it runs $1/M input tokens in preview (rising to $2 in Jan 2027) with 91.3% key-frame accuracy. Call robot planning from your own Cloud project today.
Apple wires MCP into Keynote, Pages, Numbers
Apple's iWork apps add beta AI assistants (Apple + OpenAI models) and Model Context Protocol support, so external agents can read, edit, and automate your docs, plus a new open .keyx JSON format. MCP needs macOS 27; the update ships in November for $12.99/mo Creator Studio subscribers.
Rime's Prism is auditable speech-to-speech
Rime launched Prism, a fine-tunable speech-to-speech model for voice agents with an inspectable text checkpoint you can rewrite or block before any audio reaches the caller. Roughly 500-570ms to first audio, deployable in a VPC or fully on-prem.
