Microsoft、OpenClawエージェントにクラウドの命運を賭ける
OutlookとTeams向けの新たなOpenClawベースエージェント「Microsoft Scout」が、フロンティア顧客向けにプレビュー提供中。Copilotチャットボットから、データをもとに行動する自律エージェントへのMicrosoftの転換を示すものだ。
microsoft released a preview of scout, an autonomous agent built on openclaw that integrates with outlook, onedrive, and teams to manage tasks like travel bookings and form completion. the system operates as a 'personal assistant' rather than a chatbot, analyzing transcripts and calendars to surface urgent items, while running sandboxed to prevent access to core microsoft 365 secrets. this release puts microsoft in direct competition with google's gemini spark, validating the shift toward autonomous agents despite previous executive criticism of openclaw's security risks.
