New Delhi: Microsoft is working on making its AI tools more active and helpful in everyday work. Instead of waiting for users to give commands, the company is testing systems that can take action on their own. These tools may soon be able to handle routine tasks quietly in the background, without needing constant input.

This could help to save time and cut down manual work. At the same time, there are concerns about safety and how much control users will actually have. Microsoft says it is working on making these tools safe, especially for businesses.

How Microsoft OpenClaw expected to work 

Microsoft is trying to make Microsoft 365 Copilot more independent. Reports suggest the company is testing features inspired by tools like OpenClaw, which allow AI agents to run directly on a user’s computer. These agents can complete tasks without step-by-step instructions.

A senior executive, Omar Shahine, said the company is studying how such features can be used safely in workplaces. One idea is to build an always-on Copilot that can track emails and calendars. Based on that, it could suggest reminders or tasks without being asked.

Area of use and safety

Microsoft is also testing AI bots made for specific roles like marketing, sales and accounting. These bots would only get limited data access, which may help in reducing risks and keeping sensitive information safe. This comes at a time when tools like OpenClaw are becoming popular but also raising security concerns.

The company is expected to share more details at its upcoming Microsoft Build conference starting June 2. This event is usually where Microsoft announces updates related to AI and software.

Earlier, Anthropic brought its Claude AI into Microsoft’s system. Expanding Copilot’s features could help Microsoft compete better, especially as more users try different AI tools.
