Microsoft and Nvidia are reportedly working together on AI-powered personal computers that will run actual AI agents rather than Microsoft's Copilot. According to Axios, the first Windows PCs equipped with Nvidia chips as their primary processor will be unveiled next week at Computex in Taiwan and Microsoft's Build conference in San Francisco. Both Microsoft's Surface brand and Dell are expected to showcase devices during these events. Microsoft is also developing new software that enables AI agents to perform tasks locally on Windows PCs. The company has been investing in OpenClaw since early this year, establishing a dedicated team under developer Omar Shahine. OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger, currently at OpenAI, is set to present at Build, indicating Microsoft may use the OpenClaw framework for these PCs. Omar Shahine announced on X that he is bringing OpenClaw and personal agents to Microsoft 365. | via X Microsoft's initial AI PC initiative, the 'Copilot+ PC,' aimed to use AI as a sales incentive for laptops while integrating Copilot into the default system. However, it largely failed. This second attempt appears to focus more on embedding AI agents into real workflows. Security and reliability concerns about OpenClaw persist, even though all operations will occur locally. *Source: [thedecoder](https://the-decoder.com/microsoft-and-nvidia-reportedly-team-up-on-ai-pcs-that-run-actual-agents-instead-of-copilot/)*
