Microsoft tests OpenClaw-style bots for 365 Copilot to enable 24/7 autonomous operation. Omar Shahine confirms exploration of such technologies for enterprise use. The always-on Copilot monitors Outlook inboxes and calendars to suggest tasks, with role-tailored agents for marketing, sales, and accounting that restrict permissions. Microsoft plans safer versions and demos at Build on June 2nd. This advances secure, local AI agents in business tools.

Microsoft is testing OpenClaw-style features for its 365 Copilot AI assistant to enable round-the-clock autonomous operation, according to a report from The Information cited by The Verge.

Omar Shahine, Microsoft's corporate vice president, confirms to The Information that the company is "exploring the potential of technologies like OpenClaw in an enterprise context." OpenClaw is an open-source platform for creating AI-powered agents that run locally on a user's device; it gained popularity earlier this year amid serious security concerns.

Sources tell The Information that Microsoft plans safer implementations. The always-on Copilot would monitor a user's Outlook inbox and calendar to suggest daily tasks. Microsoft also explores role-tailored agents for marketing, sales, and accounting to restrict permissions and silo access within businesses.
