Pioneering tech giant Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is gearing up for its Microsoft Build 2026 event on June 2 and 3. Unlike its tech competitors, Microsoft’s event is more targeted toward businesses and developers than customers.
Ahead of the event, artificial intelligence (AI) is set to take center stage at the San Francisco event. Developments to Copilot are expected, especially related to the technology’s monetization. Microsoft has already made Agent Mode the default mode across several Office 365 Copilot products. There is also expected to be significant discussion surrounding the popular, open-source autonomous AI assistant and agentic framework, OpenClaw.

The company plans to spend $190 billion in capital expenditures over the coming years to construct data center infrastructure.
