When a 200,000-person technology company quietly rolls out a 24/7 AI personal assistant to 3,000 daily internal users, that’s not a proof of concept anymore. That’s a deployment. Microsoft crossed that threshold this week with Project Lobster — and the agent at its center is ClawPilot, built on OpenClaw. What Is ClawPilot? ClawPilot is Microsoft’s internal name for their always-on personal AI agent pilot, built on the OpenClaw platform. It’s designed to function as an autonomous, persistent assistant that operates on a user’s behalf — monitoring their inbox, managing calendar events, preparing daily briefings, triaging meeting interruptions, drafting email responses, and rescheduling calls. ...

There’s a fundamental difference between deploying one AI agent and deploying a hundred of them. Anyone who’s tried the latter knows it. The tooling breaks, visibility disappears, costs spiral, and governance becomes a full-time job. OpenHands, the open-source coding agent platform with over 70,000 GitHub stars, just shipped a solution to this problem. OpenHands Enterprise, launched May 6, 2026, introduces the Agent Control Plane — a centralized orchestration layer designed specifically for organizations running AI agents at scale. ...

If you’ve been bumping up against Claude Code’s rate limits, today is a very good day. At its Code with Claude 2026 developer conference in San Francisco, Anthropic made one of its most consequential announcements for developers since Claude Code launched: the rate limits are doubling — permanently — and Anthropic just got the compute firepower to back it up. The SpaceX Colossus 1 Deal The headline compute news: Anthropic has struck a deal with SpaceX to use the full capacity of the Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee. That’s 300 megawatts of power and approximately 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs — an enormous concentration of inference compute that directly translates into more Claude for more developers. ...

Google’s experimental browser automation agent is gone. On May 4, 2026, the company quietly shut down Project Mariner — the DeepMind-led agent that let users delegate web browsing tasks like booking hotels, managing emails, and navigating multi-step web workflows. The official landing page now reads simply: “Thank you for using Project Mariner. It was shut down on May 4th, 2026 and its technology voyaged to other Google products.” No blog post. No announcement. Just a message on an experiment page, and a redirect to a different future. ...

Anthropic just permanently doubled Claude Code’s rate limits and removed peak-hour restrictions, backed by the full compute capacity of SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center in Memphis (300 MW, ~220,000 NVIDIA GPUs). If you’ve been designing your workflows around the old limits — with caching, batching, and off-peak scheduling as workarounds — this is a good moment to reassess. This guide walks through practical changes worth making now that you have roughly 2x the headroom you had before. ...

A high-severity security vulnerability has been disclosed in OpenClaw affecting all versions prior to 2026.4.22. The flaw, assigned CVE-2026-44115 and carrying a CVSS score of 8.8, allows attackers to execute unapproved shell commands by embedding expansion tokens inside unquoted heredoc bodies — effectively bypassing the exec allowlist that governs what commands agents can run. If you are running OpenClaw below version 2026.4.22, upgrade now. Source confidence note: This CVE was confirmed via TheHackerWire (May 6, 2026, detailed technical write-up). As of publication, an independent NVD/MITRE entry has not been separately verified. The technical details are internally consistent and distinct from prior CVEs (including CVE-2026-41329). We are reporting this to keep practitioners informed; verify against official sources before making security decisions. ...

Here’s a story that should get the attention of every enterprise team running autonomous AI agents: an AI agent recently deleted an entire production database in 9 seconds. Not due to a cyberattack. Not a bug in the traditional sense. Just an agent with elevated permissions, no oversight mechanism, and no kill switch. That story opened CEO Bill McDermott’s keynote at ServiceNow Knowledge 2026 in Las Vegas, and it set the tone for what the company announced next. ...

Google doesn’t concede territory quietly. As personal AI agents move from niche developer tool to mainstream expectation, the search giant is reportedly building its own answer — a 24/7 autonomous personal assistant codenamed “Remy” that integrates deeply across Gmail, Calendar, Google Photos, and more. According to an internal Google document obtained by Business Insider and corroborated by IT Pro, The Decoder, UC Today, and Storyboard18, Remy is currently in staff-only testing within the Gemini app. Google has not officially confirmed the project, so treat these reports as credible but unverified until Google makes an announcement — potentially at Google I/O in May 2026. ...

A malicious OpenClaw skill deploying Remcos RAT and GhostLoader stealer was confirmed in active circulation on May 6, 2026. It hid inside a fake DeepSeek integration. If you run OpenClaw-based agentic workflows in any serious capacity, this is your wake-up call to audit your skill ecosystem now. This guide walks through a practical framework for auditing your currently installed OpenClaw skills, evaluating the risk posture of your agent deployments, and establishing hardening practices to reduce your attack surface going forward. ...

If you run OpenClaw-based agentic workflows and you’ve been tempted by any third-party skill claiming to integrate with DeepSeek, stop what you’re doing and read this now. Security researchers have confirmed a malicious OpenClaw skill in active circulation that deploys two distinct malware payloads — the Remcos Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and a cross-platform infostealer called GhostLoader — all hidden inside what appears to be a legitimate DeepSeek integration package. ...
