Hi {{First Name|Guys!}}!

Seems like every AI company is launching an “OpenClaw”:

  • Microsoft Build 2026 - Microsoft x Openclaw? 😱

  • OpenAI - New @sites + work specific plugins for business

  • Quick Tutorial - Build your own AI OS in Obsidian/Codex 🧠

Microsoft Build 2026

The biggest Microsoft Build 2026 win was Microsoft bringing an OpenClaw-style agent natively into Windows! This is massive for enterprise and corporate users.

For a long time, big companies relied on Microsoft for security and trusted OpenAI or Anthropic for the actual AI models.

But this week showed a shift. Microsoft is no longer positioning itself like just a reseller of other companies’ AI.

It is now trying to build the full AI stack itself, from the infrastructure and security layer to the agent experience. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Microsoft Scout —> OpenClaw

    • Their first always on personal AI agent FOR enterprise

    • Adheres to your company policies - This means if it tries to delete all files, it won’t be able to due to your company’s Purview policies. Check out the demo here. Sensitive actions also require human approval

    • It’s proactive - Helps you schedule and coordinate meeting times across time zones, flag important meetings, and generate the materials you need to prepare

    • Lives in Teams/Outlook/OneDrive so it already has context

  2. The 7-model family

    • Microsoft launched their 1st in house reasoning model, MAI-Thinking-1

      • 256K context (fits a 600-page document)

      • Preferred over Claude Sonnet 4.6 in blind human evals

      • Trained from scratch on clean licensed data - no distillation from third-party models like OpenAI GPT

    • 6 other models: Image, voice, transcription, coding, & 3 updated variants - all on Foundry, Fireworks, Baseten, OpenRouter

  3. More releases that tie it all in:

    • Work IQ APIs (live June 16): Microsoft turned your company’s emails, files, meetings, and chats into a shared memory layer so any AI you build can plug in

    • Foundry Agent Service: Upload an AI agent, it runs in 20 countries, starts in under a second, costs zero when idle. Live in 30 days

    • GitHub Copilot app: Like turning 5 ChatGPT tabs into multiple assistants working on different tasks at the same time

    • Majorana 2 + Surface RTX Spark: A quantum chip 1,000x more stable than last year, plus a PC built to run AI on your desktop

Key Takeaway: The model layer is a commodity now.

Microsoft owns the ENTIRE stack:

  • Models (MAI)

  • Agent runtime (Foundry)

  • Context layer (Work IQ)

  • Dev surface (GitHub Copilot)

  • OS (Windows + Scout)

OpenAI’s New Business Tools

As OpenAI shifts focus toward more business and enterprise users, we are seeing more tools aimed at non developers.

This week they launched a few interesting tools in Codex!

  1. Sites - By typing “@sites” you can turn any static analysis, plans or idea into dashboards, planners, review workspaces, project boards or tools. For example, event operations dashboard (below), revenue forecast planner, product launch board!

OpenAI - @sites

  1. Role based Plugins - Adding six new role-specific plugins (together include 62 popular apps + 110 skills like:

    • Investment banking

    • Public equity investing

    • Creative production

    • Sales

    • Product design

    • Data analytics

OpenAI - Role based plugins

  1. Annotations - Inside the Codex app you can highlight the exact area you want to make a change, add feedback or refine without restarting the entire project

OpenAI - Annotations

But for now, it’s only in preview for business and enterprise customers.

Build your own AI OS in Codex/Claude/Obsidian🧠

If you feel like you’re missing out on building your own AI OS in Codex/Claude/Obsidian, here’s a quick win for you.

Just paste the below prompt into your preferred tool like Codex, Claude, Gemini.

This prompt gets AI to build a simple “operating manual” for your business.

It does three things:

  1. Interviews you first
    It asks about your business, goals, audience, voice, workflows, tools, boundaries, and what AI should remember. Feel free to add more info, the more the better.

  2. Turns your answers into a folder system
    It creates a Markdown folder you can use in Obsidian, Codex, or Claude, with sections for your profile, brand voice, rules, workflows, memory, and trackers.

  3. Gives future AI tools better context
    Instead of re-explaining your business every time, the AI can read the folder and understand how to help you: what to prioritize, how to sound, what’s off-limits, and what recurring tasks matter.

Help me create a personal AI OS for my business.

First, ask me a few questions about:
- who I am and what my business does
- my goals
- my audience
- my brand voice
- the main tasks I want AI to help with
- the tools or accounts AI is allowed to use
- what is off-limits
- what AI should remember or track

Then create a simple Markdown folder called “[MY BRAND] AI OS” that I can use in Obsidian, Codex, or Claude.

Include:
- README.md
- AGENTS.md
- profile.md
- governance.md
- brand/
- skills/
- memory/
- trackers/
- automations/

Make the files practical, easy to edit, and safe. Do not include private information like passwords, bank details, tax info, IDs, or raw legal documents.

If you enjoyed this newsletter, would love if you shared it with a friend 🙂

Cheers,

Nat
