What is interesting about OpenClaw is it's architecture. It is like an ambient intelligence layer. Other approaches up until now have been VSCode or Chromium based integrations into the PC layer.

Unlocked mature AI will win the adoption race. That's why I think China's models are better positioned.

I was thinking in the same direction when I wrote my 5000 word analysis on the current state of VLAMs. https://jdsemrau.substack.com/p/visual-language-action-model...

Understanding Autonomy and Agency in Cognitive Systems https://jdsemrau.substack.com/

Its like we are transcending to a new state of the world.

I am building Agents for a long while now. The problem with Copilot is that it gets in the way too many times without being useful. Examples: When I open an email with 3 short lines of text, why do I need a "summary by copilot" button?

When I open a meeting invote from someone else the first 1/3rd of the screen is occupied with "Prepare for your meeting" nonsense. The "insights" button just provides general knowledge akin to "read the documentation".

Absolutely. And trying to be invasive by adding Copilot buttons everywhere. It's reminiscent of "free toolbar" adware.

Solution: Add MCP to MS applications, then isolate Copilot to its own app.

Make MCP as pervasive as OLE Automation once was

For me its a major change for personal projects. That said, since about 3 months ago VS Code Github Copilot is remarkably stable in working with existing code base and I could implement changes to those projects that would have taken me a substantially longer time. So at least for this use-case its there. Hidden game changers are Gradio/Streamlit for easy UI.

I have recently started using Github Copilot for some small personal projects and am blown away how fast it is possible to create a solution that does the job. Of course its not optimized for security or scaling, but it doesn't have to be. Most mindblowing moment was when Copilot searched API documentation and implemented everything just asking me to add my API key to the .env. Wild times.
