Summary
Microsoft is testing ways to integrate OpenClaw-style features into Copilot, its AI assistant, to make Microsoft 365 Copilot run autonomously (without human intervention) around the clock and complete tasks for users. OpenClaw is an open-source platform that allows users to create AI-powered agents (software programs that act independently to complete goals) that run locally on a user's device. Microsoft's corporate vice president confirmed the company is exploring these technologies for enterprise use.
