Most organizations think they have AI agents, but they actually just have chatbots trapped in browser tabs. It is time to move beyond isolated conversations and build a persistent, multi-device system that functions like a real workforce participant. This deep dive explores the architectural shift from chat to fabric, diagnosing why current agents fail when complexity enters the mix.

We examine the GitHub Copilot SDK as a blueprint for the future, showing how to separate intelligence from the interface so your agents follow you across every device without losing context. The video covers the missing piece of session persistence, the critical need for Entra Agent IDs, and how to manage the massive cost curve of always-on agents through model routing.

You will also learn about the Microsoft Agent 365 control plane and the importance of agent-to-agent interoperability using the Model Context Protocol. From sandboxing and OS-level isolation to the governance of persistent memory, this episode provides a complete roadmap for building a scalable AI agent infrastructure that actually works in production.
