+title: My Microsoft Build 2023 takeaways
+---
+
+I'm slowly working my way through my backlog of [Microsoft Build 2023](https://build.microsoft.com/en-US)
+session recordings, but wanted to take some time out to summarise my key
+takeaways from this year's event.
+
+The common thread that ran throughout the event this year was artifical
+intelligence (AI), woven into sessions focused on what developers are building
+and how they're building it, as well as sessions looking at the future of work
+and how this will be impacted by AI.
+
+## Copilot everywhere
+
+One of the biggest announcements from this year's event is that Copilot is
+coming to Windows 11 (available in preview in June). Windows Copilot will
+enable all Windows users to become 'power' users, putting a personal
+assistant capable of taking actions, configuring settings, summarising content,
+connecting accross applications, and more, right at the heart of the Windows
+experience.
+
+Elsewhere, developers can now integrate applications and services with
+Microsoft 365 Copilot with plugins.
+
+I'm excited to see how Windows Copilot can improve my daily workflows.
+
+## Windows Terminal is getting smarter
+
+Another application, another copilot. This time, GitHub Copilot X is coming
+to Windows Terminal. Users _"will be able to take advantage of natural
+language AI both inline and in an experimental chat experience to recommend
+commands, explain errors and take actions"_.
+
+I can see this being a huge time-saver. Error returned by a build script? Don't
+switch context to Edge in order to search for the error, simply ask Copilot
+what it means and get back an explanation, as well as a resolution, all right
+there in the terminal.
+
+## A new dashboard for Windows developers
+
+Dev Home is an open-source, centralised place to configure a development
+environment (not only a local machine, but also remote environments like
+Dev Box or GitHub Codespaces), monitor system performance, and manage projects.
+
+System performance can be monitored using a customisable dashboard, which is
+extensible using widgets built using the Windows widget platform. Dev Home can
+be customised using extensions, one of which will be installed by default; the
+Dev Home GitHub Extension. Extensions can provide widgets for use on the
+Dev Home dashboard.
+
+Reducing the time from new machine to local development environment can only be
+a good thing. It'll be interesting to see whether Dev Home does gain any
+traction as being the central hub for all things development on Windows
+devices.
+
+## Dev Drive delivers performance improvements
+
+The introduction of Dev Drive promises to deliver _"performance, security and
+control"_, bringing a new type of storage volume to Windows optimised
+specifically for typical developer workloads.
+
+With an up to 30% improvement on overall build times, and performance
+improvements to other operations, such as cloning repositories, Dev Drive will
+bring important performance gains with minimal configuration required.
+
+## More AI training and development comes to Microsoft Learn
+
+Additional training and documentation is being launched on Microsoft Learn,
+to help people leverage the power of AI, through instructor-led training,
+self-paced learning paths, cloud games, and more.
+
+These newly-launched offerings cover a breadth of products, including Azure
+OpenAI Service, Power Apps, Power Virtual Agents, and GitHub Copilot.
