Microsoft Unveils Autonomous Copilot with AI Bots

Microsoft is testing OpenClaw-like AI bots for its Copilot assistant, aiming to make it “run autonomously around the clock” while completing tasks on behalf of users. The company’s efforts to integrate OpenClaw-style features into Copilot come as part of an initiative to enhance Microsoft 365 Copilot’s capabilities in a business setting. According to Omar Shahine, Microsoft’s corporate vice president, the company is exploring the potential of technologies like OpenClaw in an enterprise context. OpenClaw, an open-source platform, enables users to create AI-powered agents that operate locally on their device. As the platform gained popularity earlier this year, Microsoft appears to be taking notice and adapting its Copilot AI assistant to include similar autonomous capabilities. This development marks a significant shift for Microsoft 365 Copilot, which has been gaining traction among businesses and individuals alike since its introduction. By integrating OpenClaw-like features, Microsoft aims to further establish its Copilot as a leading AI-powered productivity tool.
