- What they did
- Omar Shahine started using OpenClaw earlier in the year to automate tasks at home, such as drafting an email or investigating concert-ticket prices. He called his assistant Lobster. The article gives no setup detail on the home use. It covers his later move into a Microsoft team building OpenClaw-based agents that suggest actions and wait for user approval.
- How it went
- The article doesn't report results for the home tasks. Shahine demoed Lobster internally on Feb. 26. By March 31 he had a new role, and by May 1 more than 3,000 Microsoft employees were testing the related ClawPilot.
- Worth knowing
- Microsoft's Defender team says OpenClaw is untrusted code execution with persistent credentials and shouldn't run on a standard personal or enterprise workstation.
