Quick summary
Microsoft has unveiled Scout, its first "always-on" personal agent, and built it on top of OpenClaw —the same open-source technology that powers hablo—. On top of that, Microsoft will contribute its security improvements back to the project. For us and for you, that's a great signal: the foundation hablo is built on has just earned the backing of one of the biggest players in the world.
Microsoft launches Scout, and builds it on OpenClaw
On June 2, 2026, Microsoft unveiled Scout, its first "Autopilot agent": a personal assistant that doesn't just answer questions, but works proactively in the background —coordinating meetings, preparing materials, spotting upcoming deliverables and blocking time on your calendar—. Here's what matters to us: according to the official Microsoft Scout announcement, the assistant is "powered by OpenClaw open-source technology", and the trade press describes it outright as an agent "built on the OpenClaw framework". In other words, Microsoft has chosen the very same foundation that powers hablo.
Why this is great news (and not just for Microsoft)
When one of the largest tech companies in the world builds its personal agent on OpenClaw, it's validating two things at once: that personal agents are the future of work, and that OpenClaw is a solid, go-to foundation for building them. The technology we chose at hablo has just received the strongest possible endorsement.
More security for everyone: Microsoft contributes to the open core
The best part is the security. Microsoft isn't just using OpenClaw: it's going to contribute its "policy conformance" advances directly to the open project, so that anyone can validate security and compliance configurations. On top of that comes a model with agent-governed identity, credentials scoped to each task, human approval for sensitive actions and audit logs. Because OpenClaw is open, those security improvements flow back to the community —and therefore to the foundation that hablo runs on—.
What it means if you already use hablo
It means you're on the right technology. The same architecture we bet on is now the one the biggest players are choosing, with a huge investment in security and reliability that benefits the entire ecosystem. You don't have to do anything: you keep using your Agent; we take care of bringing in whatever makes the platform better.
At hablo, security is —and will remain— a priority
The fact that a giant like Microsoft puts security at the heart of its agent confirms the path we've been clear about since day one. At hablo, security isn't an extra, it's a pillar: we look after it today and we'll keep looking after it tomorrow, because our goal isn't just for your Agent to be powerful, but for it to be a tool you can genuinely trust. Useful and reliable, in equal measure.
