Microsoft is reportedly looking to ride the OpenClaw wave by introducing similar agentic AI features in its Copilot AI assistant.
The integration of OpenClaw-style features in Copilot is said to be part of Microsoft’s broader efforts to transform its 365 Copilot suite into a system that can “run autonomously around the clock” and complete tasks on behalf of users, according to a report by The Information.
With these always-on upgrades, users will be able to make the Copilot AI assistant do things such as scan their Outlook inbox and calendar, and serve up a list of suggested tasks each day. In addition, Microsoft is looking to develop OpenClaw-like agents tailored to certain roles in fields such as marketing, sales, and accounting.
These sector-specific agents are likely to be aimed at Microsoft’s enterprise customers by limiting the user approvals required for each agent and isolating them from other parts of an organisation. Microsoft is set to showcase some of these OpenClaw-style features during its upcoming Build conference that is scheduled to take place from June 2, 2026, onwards, as per the report.
