Just published openclaw-teams-setup: one command to get your OpenClaw/NemoClaw agent running in Teams.

Simply run:
npx openclaw-teams-setup

Creates an Azure bot, sets up a dev tunnel, configures your OpenClaw or NemoClaw instance, and generates the Teams app package. Run it and start chatting.

We're the first cloud provider to offer @AnthropicAI 's native Claude Platform directly through customer accounts. Teams get access to the full platform, from Managed Agents to code execution, using the @awscloud credentials, billing, and audit controls they already rely on.

No new vendor accounts, no new systems. https://t.co/I9w1ypzhXH

[Brad Groux @BradGroux]

FYI: We’re working with Microsoft on improvements to the Microsoft Teams plugin and integrations for OpenClaw.

I wouldn’t normally talk about this before it’s ready, but Teams affects production use for many users, including @DigitalMeld, so I wanted to share early.

This work moves us away from the legacy Azure Bot Framework path and onto the newer Teams SDK. If this lands, some Teams setups may need follow-up config or deployment changes, so please plan accordingly. We’ll share clearer timing and migration notes as soon as we can.

If you have Teams production experience, please review or contribute to the PR. Feedback here is welcome too.

Thanks to Microsoft and @healthycola for helping drive this forward.

🚀 Today we're announcing the first managed end-to-end payment capabilities for autonomous agents in preview in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Built with Coinbase and Stripe, so developers can focus on what their agents do, not on how they pay. The agentic economy is just getting started. Here's a first look at AgentCore payments ➡️ https://t.co/3iBVyZUQ8r

Amazon Quick changes how you work. Today we're releasing it in desktop mode—a proactive AI assistant that connects to your apps, builds a personal knowledge graph from your work, and gets smarter every session. No AWS account needed. Quick finds the smarter way to get it done ➡️https://t.co/IKyc5ZWoTi

The Quick desktop app is here, and it’s compelling.

Connects to your email, calendar, Slack, local files, and several other apps to flag important communications, retrieve and summarize info, make recommendations, send communications, and create agents that do work you used to have to do yourself. Gets smarter and more personalized the more you use it.

Been using it a lot recently and is changing how I work. It’s allowing me to use applications like my inbox more like an archive, and Quick as my personalized, prioritized, productivity hub that can multi-task various needs.

Still early days, and a lot more coming, but excited for folks to start using it to make the undifferentiated work so much less complicated. https://t.co/UtuGTDx4gT

Very 🦞

[Amazon Web Services @awscloud]

Amazon Quick is now available as a desktop app on your computer.

Quick connects the dots across tools and conversations, helping you stay ahead of meetings, follow-ups, and shifting priorities.

Your AI assistant sits beside your workday, learns the context of your projects, and works directly with your calendar, email, and local files, so you never start from zero.

Today is the last day to register for the hands on @OpenClaw workshop that I am co-hosting at @TAMU on May 2nd with Assistant Dean of AI for @maysbusiness, @ArnoldCastro. If you can make it to College Station, TX and want to know how to install and use OpenClaw, you don't want to miss this one!

We'll step you through the basics of AI agents, and the power of memory, and then help you install and configure OpenClaw, and setup skills, showing you how to build your startup team made up of the following agents:
• Market Researcher
• Idea Validator
• Coder
• Project Manager
• Outreach Assistant.

More importantly, we'll be setting the foundation for what makes a good orchestrator, and how you can build and expand your team of agents, and AI brain to make it all your own. The power of agents is that they are personal. So let's dive in and start building your dream team.

@MarniMelrose @chrisparkX @hnshah Ah cool, time to try Obsidian like everyone I guess

[Sid Uppal @upster]

@MarniMelrose @chrisparkX @hnshah Thanks, will try it out. Need something that works from mobile.

💬 Our partnership with @vercel gives users 15+ messaging channels with full file support and rich cards. Yes, we now integrate with Microsoft Teams. 😉

The partnership enables everything from the big details like new messaging channels to the small touches that make agents feel alive.

OpenClaw is the fastest-growing open source project, but there are no stories of running it safely in production at scale. As we started deploying agents internally at @brexHQ, we couldn’t stop thinking about this question.

Agents work, but nobody wants to give them real credentials. Instead of waiting for a solution to emerge, we decided to try a novel approach: using LLMs to judge the network traffic of an AI agent.

Today we’re announcing CrabTrap, an open-source proxy that intercepts every outbound request and blocks risky activity using LLMs, before it ever hits an external API. The results are promising; we believe it’s a meaningful step forward in the security of agent harnesses in production environments.

Try it out today.

(As a side note, it was really fun to work personally on a real systems problem again. And btw, if you want to work at a place where the CEO is building proxies at night, we’re hiring!)

Thanks @clairevo for suggesting the indoor silent basketball (along with the inspirational OpenClaw use cases for parents). I ordered one and it’s great to see my kids playing with it away from their devices.

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Claire Vo's first day with @OpenClaw it deleted her family calendar.

Now she runs 9 agents across 3 Mac Minis, and said "I haven't felt like this since I was a teenager learning to code."

Her sales agent Sam does a daily CRM sweep, identifies decision-makers from new signups, and sends personalized outreach—replacing a part-time salesperson she was paying 10 hours a week.

Her home agent Finn pings her and her husband every day at 3pm: "Which of you is picking up which kids?" Then flags when the oldest's basketball conflicts with the middle kid's soccer and asks how they want to split duties.

She also has agents for podcast prep, kids' homework help, and course project management.

Claire (host of How I AI, founder of @ChatPRD) started as one of OpenClaw's most vocal skeptics. She now calls it "a ChatGPT moment."

In our in-depth conversation, she breaks down:
🔸 Her exact setup: Mac Mini, separate Gmail, dedicated local account
🔸 The progressive trust model: first calendar access, then read email, then draft, then send — just like onboarding an EA
🔸 Why one agent is a mistake—and why she thinks about it like Slack channels, not a single assistant
🔸 How to use Claude Code as a "brain surgeon" to fix and manage your OpenClaw when things break
🔸 "The yappers API" — why rambling into a voice note is the highest-bandwidth way to set up your agent
🔸 Why management skills matter more than technical skills for making this actually work
