Visual Studio September 2025 Update Brings Powerful AI-Driven Enhancements

Microsoft has rolled out the September 2025 Visual Studio update, introducing a fully integrated agentic AI experience. From code generation and modernization to profiling and code reviews, these features are designed to transform the way developers build and optimize applications.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Profiler Agent

    No need to be a profiling expert—Profiler Agent uses AI to analyze CPU usage, memory, and runtime behavior. It highlights performance bottlenecks, creates or optimizes BenchmarkDotNet benchmarks, and suggests fixes in a guided loop—all seamlessly integrated with GitHub Copilot.

  • .NET Application Modernization

    Upgrade your .NET apps to the latest versions and migrate to Azure faster with the Copilot-powered modernization agent, designed to streamline upgrades and migrations.

  • MCP Prompts, Resources & Sampling

    Model Context Protocol (MCP) introduces a standardized way for servers to expose structured prompts, contextual resources, and agentic behaviors—making LLMs more powerful in development environments.

  • Mermaid Diagram Generation

    Visual Studio now supports rendering Mermaid diagrams directly in the Markdown editor—whether you write the syntax yourself or let Copilot generate it for you.

  • Smart Code Reviews

    GitHub Copilot takes local code reviews to the next level with AI-driven insights that make reviews faster, smarter, and more effective.
