Microsoft explores autonomous AI agent technology for 365 Copilot to enable round-the-clock task automation.

Microsoft is testing OpenClaw-style features to enable 365 Copilot to operate autonomously and complete tasks continuously on behalf of users

Omar Shahine, Microsoft's corporate vice president, confirmed the company is 'exploring the potential of technologies like OpenClaw in an enterprise context'

OpenClaw is an open-source platform that allows users to create AI-powered agents running locally on devices and gained popularity earlier this year

The initiative aims to enhance 365 Copilot's capabilities by integrating autonomous agent features similar to OpenClaw's functionality
