Another day, another agent runtime. The good news is this commoditizes the layer we build on. We've been focused on adding the voice/avatar piece to the OpenClaw ecosystem with NyxClaw: a Rust server for local-first, sub-250ms voice and a Gaussian-splatting avatar. The more standard the runtime, the easier it is for us to plug in.

And its fuel are github copilot ai credits, burned in 2 days. Good luck habing a running business on scout and your credits are gone.

Don't worry, they'll make it borderline free at the start, let everyone integrate into their org, and then jack up the price after just like they do with everything else.

Ahh Microsoft, my innocent child.... They didn't learn with CoPilot having no adoption. They didn't learn with Windows 11 being completely useless They didn't learn with GitHub having security breach left and right Some companies never learn I guess.

Copilot has the highest enterprise adoption of any AI currently, with GH Copilot in 2nd (although that may change with the recent pricing changes). Windows 11 sucks but is still 70+% of desktop OS market share runs basically every single F500 company.

Microsoft has a public image problem, but they are still winning (in the enterprise) regardless.

The mistake is thinking that MS gives a crap about the individual consumer, they don't, that's not their customer.

I am using the NyxClaw Android app; it is awesome, but can we change the avatar that is being used?
