Microsoft presents: Agentic Development in Business Central
This session provides a view of agentic development in Business Central. Learn how AL, Visual Studio Code, GitHub Copilot, and command-line tooling come together to enable AI-driven development workflows.
We will cover recent platform and tooling investments that improve how coding agents like GitHub Copilot understands and works with AL—making it more effective in agentic coding scenarios for Business Central.
Among other, we will examine:
* How intelligent agents can generate, modify, and execute Business Central artifacts
* How agents integrate into AL projects and developer tooling across the development lifecycle
* How developers transition to roles focused on orchestration, validation, and governance
