A Focus on AI and Collaborations!

Expect a heavy emphasis on AI this year, particularly on Microsoft's vision of AI agents as digital partners working alongside human teams. This could redefine how we perceive collaboration in tech.

Additionally, rumors are circulating regarding Microsoft's plans to host Elon Musk's Grok AI model on its Azure AI platform. Just a few weeks ago, insights from my Notepad newsletter indicated that Microsoft was in talks with xAI about this exciting collaboration — could we see an announcement during Build?

Special Guests on the Horizon?

There are whispers that OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, may make a special appearance at this year's event, following his presence last year. Despite some reports of tension, Altman and CEO Satya Nadella have been seen reinforcing their collaborative spirit, even sharing a selfie recently.
