Background & analysis
On November 3, 2026, Blue Dot reported remarks from Marcus Ash, head of design and research for Microsoft's Windows and Devices division, about a new Windows 11 feature. According to the report, the built-in network speed test tool added to Windows 11 was designed and developed with a workflow driven by AI agents, and the team produced a working prototype in a single day. Microsoft engineers guided the agents during their spare time. Ash said that combining AI agent workflows with WinUI3 can speed up development of features that integrate with the Windows interface. The report does not provide any information beyond the prototype, and it does not state when the feature might ship or what plans exist for it, so the story currently stops there.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
