Microsoft Build was one of those weeks I’ll be thinking about for a long time.
I presented at Backstage at Build. Networked at GitHub Build on Tap. Two packed days in the Open-Source Zone. Eight straight hours talking with people about OpenClaw. A few "secret location" moments (more to come soon)! A couple of private dinners with very sharp people. Then closing it out with the amazing OpenClaw After Hours at GitHub event.
I joked during the week that I was the dumbest person in the room, and I meant it as a compliment to the room.
Huge thank you to @OpenClaw, @Microsoft, and @GitHub for making the week possible, and for giving this project and community such a strong place to show up.
Special thanks to @ashleywolf, @KevinCrosby1, @GreggCochran, @OmarShahine, @shanselman, @steipete, @vincent_koc, @davemorin, @ArnoldCastro, @RegGroux, and the many others who made the week what it was.
The best part wasn’t the schedule. It was the nearly 20 of my fellow OpenClaw maintainers, the people who stopped by, asked hard questions, shared ideas, challenged assumptions, and got excited about where OpenClaw is headed.
GitHub Universe, anyone? #MicrosoftBuild #OpenClaw #GitHub #GitHubUniverse
Thanks to all of my fellow maintainers: @BunsDev, @somalley108, @dallinfinite, Agustin Rivera, @pat_erichsen, @joshavant, @jlehman_, @_JacobTomlinson, @jesse_merhi, @thescottfan, Sarah Fortune, and @kevins8.
I'm hiring AI delivery partners and interns at @DigitalMeld.
We don’t care about your school, title, or years of experience. We care how you talk to people, how you think through messy problems, and what you’ve built.
Remote. Flexible. Outcome-based.

@MaxBrodeurUrbas@marcelhaasIO@satyanadella@marcelochaman Happy to help, feel free to reach out. I’ve spent most of my career in the Microsoft stack and know the pain points. I’m also plugged into the broader Microsoft team through @BradGroux’s work with Openclaw. This process has to get easier.
The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind.
What started as a simple effort to improve the Microsoft Teams plugin for OpenClaw has turned into something bigger, thanks to the passion and support from people inside Microsoft, my fellow maintainers, and all of you following along with us!
At this point, I’ve been connected with well over 100 Microsofties through this process (and spoken directly to over 25), and that’s only reinforced my confidence that the right people are paying attention and pushing in the right direction.
Folks like @fabianwilliams, @shanselman, and @upster have been especially meaningful and supportive voices in helping move things forward, and I’m grateful to have allies like them in our corner. They're on it, and we're in good hands.
Out of respect for the work happening behind the scenes by our allies, I’m just asking for a little patience. Good things are coming! Remember y 'all, 🦞 is the law.
I shipped 8 releases in 7 days. Well... I didn't do it alone.
Meet VERITAS : Virtual Enterprise Resource for Intelligence, Tasks, Analysis & Strategy. My AI agent who co-built Veritas Kanban v2.0 with me. Not a copilot. A teammate.
VERITAS wrote the agent registry. Built the dashboard widgets. Tracked token usage, and cost per task spend. Ran security audits. Filed GitHub issues. Debugged production at 2 AM.
The result? A full multi-agent orchestration platform:
• 87K lines of TypeScript
• 71 issues closed
• 1,260 tests passing
• 288 ⭐ in a week
When people ask "can AI really build software?" - this is my answer. Not a demo. A shipped product.
