Microsoft to Make Windows Agentic for New Web Experience

Microsoft is transforming Windows into an agentic AI platform, a significant evolution in its operating system history. At the Microsoft Build 2025 event, CEO Satya Nadella discussed the need to update legacy internet systems for the rise of AI agents, likening this phase of generative AI to past technological revolutions. Microsoft is developing an ‘agentic web’ to allow intelligent agents to interact with data and users. To support this, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic, will be embedded in Windows, enabling AI agents like GitHub Copilot to perform tasks beyond code generation, such as installing software and modifying system settings with user consent. Microsoft introduced Foundry Local, a tool that allows AI features to run offline on PCs, enhancing response times and privacy. The company also launched Copilot Tuning, enabling enterprises to customize AI agents using their own data and workflows. Additionally, Microsoft announced NLWeb, an open standard to convert any website into an agentic platform, facilitating AI agents' understanding and interaction with web content. Microsoft is collaborating with companies like Tripadvisor to implement NLWeb for autonomous travel arrangements.

Signal will block Microsoft Recall from snooping on your texts

Encrypted messaging platform Signal is enhancing its Windows application with a feature called Screen Security, which prevents screenshots of messages while the app is in use. The application is flagged as protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), ensuring that DRM content cannot be recorded in screenshots on Windows devices. Screen Security is activated by default but can be disabled by users if needed. Signal hopes that AI developers will consider the implications of their innovations more thoughtfully. The Recall feature in Windows 11, which allows users to record everything displayed on their screens, has faced privacy and security concerns, and skepticism remains about its readiness for widespread adoption.
