Microsoft is overhauling GitHub to counter competition from AI coding rivals such as Cursor and Claude Code. CEO Satya Nadella referenced Bill Gates' past frustrations about software fragmentation during an internal meeting to explain the transformation. Despite GitHub Copilot remaining a top AI coding assistant, it has lost market share in key segments to competitors like Cursor. To address these challenges, Microsoft plans to make GitHub's AI capabilities available across various platforms and tools developers use daily. The company aims for GitHub to become a central hub for managing multiple AI agents as part of its broader strategy to diversify beyond its OpenAI partnership. This overhaul follows the recent departure of GitHub’s CEO in August.
