Microsoft is working on yet another OpenClaw-like agent

TechCrunch
Microsoft is developing a new enterprise-focused, secure AI agent inspired by the open-source project OpenClaw for its Microsoft 365 Copilot platform.

Summary

Microsoft is reportedly developing an AI agent feature for its Microsoft 365 Copilot, drawing inspiration from the open-source tool OpenClaw. Unlike the existing project, which runs locally and is perceived as risky, Microsoft intends to build an enterprise-grade version with enhanced security controls. The proposed agent aims to function continuously to complete multi-step tasks. This initiative complements other recent Microsoft agentic tools like Copilot Cowork and Copilot Tasks, which primarily operate in the cloud. Further details are expected at the upcoming Microsoft Build conference.
