Microsoft Build 2023: Day 2 features sessions across AI copilot, Microsoft Azure, more

The Microsoft Build 2023 opened with a band when CEO and Chairman Satya Nadella took the stage for the opening keynote session and announced that Microsoft is taking a big step towards copilots. Copilots are essentially the AI-powered assistive chatbot technology that Microsoft has built for its platforms through a collaboration with OpenAI. Nadella announced that the copilots will now enter various Microsoft offerings including Edge, Windows 11, and Microsoft 365 as well as a copilot stack that will enable developers to make apps and plugins for the Microsoft platform. And that was just the keynote session. Now we are arriving on Day 2, and the fixtures continue to get more insightful and interesting.

On day 2 of the developer conference, Microsoft is featuring a number of live sessions that focus on a range of topics across AI copilots, Microsoft Azure, Edge, cloud-native systems, Microsoft Fabric, and more. So, let us take a look at what you can expect from the second day of the event.
