Microsoft is working on yet another OpenClaw-like agent

Microsoft is testing ways to integrate OpenClaw-like features into its existing Microsoft 365 Copilot tool. The new features, which the company confirmed to The Information, would be geared towards enterprise customers, with better security controls than the famously risky open source OpenClaw agent. OpenClaw is a tool that runs locally on a user’s computer and can create agents to perform tasks on behalf of the person. If Microsoft does come up with its own version of a Claw — meaning an agent that runs locally — the effort would join a number of other agentic tools the company has announced in the past few months.
