 This article provides a summary of the latest releases and major documentation updates for Azure AI Foundry Agent Service.
 
+## May 2025
+
+### Azure AI Foundry Agent Service GA
+
+The Azure AI Foundry Agent Service is now Generally Available (GA). Along with this milestone, the service offers the following feature updates:
+
+### Agent catalog
+
+The [agent catalog](./how-to/agent-catalog.md) helps streamline your agent deployment with prebuilt, task-specific agent code samples across a variety of domains such as translation, sales prep, computer use, and more.
+
+### AI Foundry Visual Studio Code extension
+
+The [AI Foundry Visual Studio Code extension](../../ai-foundry/how-to/develop/vs-code-agents.md?context=/azure/ai-services/agents/context/context) is now available with the ability to perform a variety of AI Foundry actions, such as deploying and configure agents natively.
+
+### Connected agents
+
+[Connected agents](./how-to/connected-agents.md) allow you to create task-specific agents that can interact seamlessly with a primary agent. This feature enables you to build multi-agent systems without the need for external orchestrators.
+
+### Trace agents
+
+Debug and monitor your agents by [tracing agent threads](./concepts/tracing.md) to clearly see the inputs and outputs of each primitive involved in a particular agent run, in the order in which they were invoked. 
+
+### Trigger agents using Azure Logic Apps 
+
+[Automatically invoke](./how-to/triggers.md) your AI agent when an event occurs, such as receiving a new email, or getting a new customer ticket so that your AI agent can immediately respond to the new event without manual invocation.
+
+### New agent tools
+
+This release brings a number of new tools to extend agents' capabilities:
+
+* **Bing Custom Search tool** - Determine which websites will be used to ground your agents with. 
+* **SharePoint tool** - Use your SharePoint sites to ground your agents data, and chat with your data.
+* **Morningstar tool** - Leverage Morningstar, a prominent investment research company, as a data source for your agent.
