AI Agent: Microsoft Copilot Cowork

Microsoft is working on yet another OpenClaw-like agent | TechCrunch

Microsoft announced Copilot Cowork, which is designed to take actions in Microsoft 365 apps, not just provide search results or chat in a separate work pane. Cowork is powered by its own “Work IQ” technology, an intelligence layer that tries to personalize Cowork for the user across Microsoft 365 apps.

Microsoft has also tapped Anthropic’s Claude to power Cowork, after it partnered with the AI lab late last year. Microsoft added Claude as an option available for Cowork. (While OpenClaw can work with multiple models, Claude remains the model of choice for many users of the open source project.) However, Cowork doesn’t run on the local hardware; it runs in the cloud.
