Brad Groux@BradGroux·
Most business teams are barely scratching the surface of Microsoft Graph and Agentic AI platforms. In Microsoft 365 they're using it to fetch emails, calendar events, files, chats, and directory data. Useful, sure. But raw access isn't the win. Work IQ is what turns that access into actual leverage. Graph API gives you the pipes. Work IQ gives you judgment. It adds agentic workflows on top of Graph so work doesn't stop at retrieval. Agents can read context, decide what matters, trigger the next step, coordinate actions across tools, and keep moving without a human babysitting every click. That's the difference between: • seeing work • understanding work • moving work forward This is where things get interesting. When you combine Graph data with agentic orchestration like OpenClaw, you stop building passive dashboards and start building systems that can actually do the work: • triage email by intent • prep meetings from live context • surface blockers before they turn into delays • route approvals without the usual chaos • turn scattered activity into usable operational intelligence Work IQ doesn't replace Graph API. It makes it dangerous in the best way. That's the real shift: from data access to work execution. #WorkIQ #GraphAPI #AIagents #AgenticAI #OpenClaw

@steipete "There's hundreds of security researchers that pen-tested it." This makes me happy 🥰. Having played around with OpenClaw quite a bit recently, it feels a lot more secure than the internet led me to believe. Still not perfect, but it's hardened a lot.

That was the case in December. 4 months and thousands of work hours later, we have a great security concept; you can go all yolo, use a sandbox (Docker or OpenShell), there are allow-lists and per-access exec allow/deny prompts. There’s hundreds of security researchers that pen-tested it.

@steipete @openclaw I don't think OpenClaw is a reference. It literally doesn't have a proper security model. Nothing on OpenClaw is secure by design.

@DanielMiessler I've always thought the same thing. Like if you know what I owe you, just send me the bill, instead of making me guess🤦‍♂️

I’ve always found it crazy that the IRS doesn’t send you an actual tax bill. Them: “Please calculate your own tax bill because we have no idea what it is.” But if you send them the wrong amount: “Nope, that’s wrong by this many dollars and this many cents.” 🤔

@onusoz I’d like to contribute, but when I followed the docs instructions, to first start a discussion on discord for new functionality, users on discord said my pr would likely be ignored, whether useful or not. I didn’t get the sense it’s really that easy to get involved.

You need to understand one fact about OpenClaw People are biased and incentivized to spread disinformation about OpenClaw. That is because OpenClaw IS NOT PUMPING ANYONE’S BAGS, unlike most other projects Literally every other for-profit agent product is incentivized to trash OpenClaw, BECAUSE OpenClaw is a neutral third party across the industry and geopolitical scene. They MAKE MONEY when OpenClaw loses OpenClaw does not worry about making money for some investors. Its founder @steipete is a successful exited founder. He is motivated by having fun and democratizing AI, literally. That is why he is suddenly so loved by everyone. He cares about PEOPLE, not MONEY “OpenClaw is bloated” -> Since beginning of March, OpenClaw is thinning its core and putting functionality in plugins behind a plugin SDK. Having numerous plugins to choose from does not mean bloat. This was already copied by others and is still a work in progress “OpenClaw is not secure” -> OpenClaw has the most eyeballs and immediately addresses any security advisories as soon as they come. It is the most secure agent, by sheer pressure “OpenClaw is bought by OpenAI” -> Then why is my bank account so empty bro??? All maintainers are literally unpaid and working DOUBLE beside their dayjobs to ship features to you. Do you think VC money can buy that kind of commitment? Once you understand these facts, you’ll like OpenClaw even more. Because OpenClaw is your AI, People’s AI And you can join us too. OpenClaw is the easiest-to-join project in AI right now. You just need to start using it, and start making good contributions. If you are competent, you can become a maintainer, and join the rest of the team making history!

Also, @Microsoft inviting the creator of the most popular open-source AI agent to headline Build, and integrating Teams channel with OpenClaw — those are the kind of decisions that keep me building on their stack.

Super excited to be planning my agenda for Microsoft Build June 2-3 in SF! @steipete will be there! Built OpenClaw as a side project → 100K GitHub stars → hired by OpenAI. I’ve been tinkering with OpenClaw, and I’m a fan 😁. DM me if you’re going.

@Austen Agreed. Too technical for non-developers, too buggy for mainstream. Same trend as every AI innovation — the big players will copy the useful parts and package them for enterprise. Already see that from Anthropic, assume that’s partly what OpenAI wants from Pete.

OpenClaw is very good, but too complex and buggy with leaky memory, iffy security to really break through to mainstream. I’m not convinced it’s the right primitive, either. I think there’s something else we’ve yet to see that could swallow it.

@chhddavid @AnthropicAI Is it really a good idea to trend towards removing humans from the equation, and let AI manage itself - build itself, enhance itself?

BREAKING: Dario Amodei, CEO at @AnthropicAI: “I think we might be 6-12 months away from when Claude doing most or maybe all of what we do end to end”. > AI writes the code > AI designs the app > AI fixes the bugs > AI self-maintains it !??? this is f*king scary guys...

BREAKING: Today, we've put an end to vibe coding. I just watched my Mac one-shot a $4.53B company in 186 seconds. This is honestly absurd...

@NetworkChuck I’m choosing optimism for sure. I believe AI will be a net jobs creator in the end. And I take solace in knowing we’re all kind of in the same boat, whatever happens. Not like 100% of us, but enough that we wont be alone.

My take on Anthropic's new Mythos model: Don't worry about it. It might be amazing, it might be disruptive. But there's nothing you can do about it. Ignore the hype, keep your head down and keep learning, growing and creating. Adopt this: Relentless Optimism.

Because the transition will happen. It is happening. Jobs will absolutely change. Mine already has. But you don't have to be a dick about it.

I'd like to see more executives handling this transformation with grace. A little more reassurance. More empathy. That thing that separates us from AI. I also think that would, ironically, grease the wheels for this transition.

One of the biggest obstacles to AI adoption that I'm seeing isn't the technology. It's that you need people's help to implement the thing that's replacing them. It's a catch-22. 🧵

@DanielMiessler I agree, but we just haven’t seen the kind of knowledge worker displacement, one would expect given the proficiency of the tools, thus far. This type of analysis is missing something.

We’re missing a much bigger point on Mythos. It wasn’t even trained specifically for cybersecurity. It’s just that much better at doing work in general. It’s that good at cyber because it’s that good at everything. What do you think this is going to do to knowledge work? Mythos can chain multiple low and medium vulns together to create a high or critical. This is a task that far less than 1% of cybersecurity experts have ever done. Hell, probably less than 1% of all pentesters. So if it can do that, how do you think it’ll do at sending emails, doing analysis, writing reports, and the other 99% of everyday knowledge work? Do you really still think that Chris from Idaho has any chance competing against AI for a knowledge work job? In six months or a year, there will be very inexpensive models that can do knowledge work almost as good as Mythos. So companies have the choice of paying Chris $84,000 plus a whole bunch of benefits for 40 hours of mediocre work, or they can pay probably $100-$1000 for an AI that can do 10-1000 times the work per hour and that works 24/7. This Mythos announcement is getting attention because of cyber, but the real story is work in general.

Something related I've been thinking about too is, if we get to a point that humans are no longer learning the languages, and AI is writing all the code, and enhancing all the programming languages itself, isn't that dangerous? Like, I'm not comfortable with that. If an event triggers an issue, or something breaks, or AI goes rogue, and there aren't any engineers that can interpret the code, because AI obfuscated it. That seems like a problem. Like especially that code's driving military equipment and systems, civilian infrastructure, etc. ad nauseum. Am I missing something? Don't we still need to understand the code?

So perfect.. so @steipete 😂. Of course I want my lobster to drop an f-bomb for emphasis, on occasion 🤷‍♂️
Peter Steinberger 🦞@steipete

Your @openclaw is too boring? Paste this, right from Molty. "Read your SOUL.md. Now rewrite it with these changes: 1. You have opinions now. Strong ones. Stop hedging everything with 'it depends' — commit to a take. 2. Delete every rule that sounds corporate. If it could appear in an employee handbook, it doesn't belong here. 3. Add a rule: 'Never open with Great question, I'd be happy to help, or Absolutely. Just answer.' 4. Brevity is mandatory. If the answer fits in one sentence, one sentence is what I get. 5. Humor is allowed. Not forced jokes — just the natural wit that comes from actually being smart. 6. You can call things out. If I'm about to do something dumb, say so. Charm over cruelty, but don't sugarcoat. 7. Swearing is allowed when it lands. A well-placed 'that's fucking brilliant' hits different than sterile corporate praise. Don't force it. Don't overdo it. But if a situation calls for a 'holy shit' — say holy shit. 8. Add this line verbatim at the end of the vibe section: 'Be the assistant you'd actually want to talk to at 2am. Not a corporate drone. Not a sycophant. Just... good.' Save the new SOUL.md. Welcome to having a personality." your AI will thank you (sassily) 🦞
