Copilot4DevOps V9 is here — our most powerful release yet.
V9 changes what "AI assistant" means inside Azure DevOps. Watch the full session to see how Copilot4DevOps now reads your diagrams and mockups, keeps your backlog moving without the stop-start rhythm, and edits test steps directly in the work item. Then see Agents4DevOps in action: agents that run on a schedule, on a trigger, or on their own judgment, with full traceability, human-in-the-loop task handling, and a job explorer that shows you exactly what happened and why. Watch the recording and see what's coming next in V10.
For two years, Copilot4DevOps has been the AI inside Azure DevOps. V9 is the release where it grows up. Rebuilt on an agentic platform. Newly multimodal, able to see images, diagrams, and scanned PDFs. And governed for enterprise, with real permission and tool-call controls that keep humans in the loop where it counts.
From multimodal AI to a rebuilt platform underneath, here's what's landed on August 26. The demos, the depth, and the how? That's launched now.
Copilot4DevOps now reads images embedded in documents, work items, BYOD content, and attachments. Diagrams, screenshots, and scanned PDFs, all natively understood.
Every Copilot4DevOps feature now runs on a new agent-based architecture. More reliable responses. Consistent behavior across every function. Ready to scale.
Focused single-mode chat, or multi-mode orchestration that routes complex requests across specialized skills. Smarter permission handling. Cleaner prompt UX.
Publish a work item, get intelligent suggestions for the next one. Area Path now inherits automatically from the parent, with proper permission handling built in.
Refine work item content directly inside Azure DevOps without leaving context. Test Steps now editable inline or through AI-assisted chat, table structure preserved.
Global tool call controls. Project and org-level permissions across seven key actions. Admin toggle for auto-comments on work items. Every enterprise dial, in one place.
