Finally, a Microsoft 365 assistant that takes action — reads and replies to your email, books your meetings, creates scheduled tasks, and more. Tell it your preferences once and it works exactly the way you do.
From $25/month.
Copilot talks about doing things instead of doing them. Power Automate requires IT even for simple rules. Neither works the way you'd expect an AI assistant to work.
The Copilot that comes with your M365 subscription can't see your data. Ask it to summarize your email and it asks you to paste the content in. The paid add-on ($18/mo promo, $21 standard) can finally read your inbox — but each app still starts fresh. There's no single conversation that spans email, calendar, and tasks.
Building even a simple rule — "when I get an email with an attachment, save it to OneDrive" — requires navigating a flow builder, configuring connectors, and debugging developer-log error messages. Flows break silently. There is literally a website called ihatepowerautomate.com. Power Automate has no intelligence; it just runs scripts.
Microclaw connects directly to your entire Microsoft 365 account — reading and writing across email, calendar, tasks, and files in one conversation through Teams. You describe what you want. It does it — or asks a single clarifying question if it needs to. Automations are set up in plain English and fire in real time. No flow builder. No IT call.
Microsoft has built tier after tier of Copilot — and each one falls short in a different way. The version included with your M365 subscription can't see your email. The paid add-on can, but treats every app as a separate conversation. Cross-app action is locked behind a $99/month enterprise bundle — not in Teams, every action requires approval, large orgs only. Microclaw does all of it today, for less, for any team size.
I can't directly change your mailbox or calendar for you, but here's a clean, ready-to-use setup that does exactly what you described. I'll make a few reasonable assumptions and note them clearly so you can adjust in seconds.
1) Automatically flag emails from the Board
Assumption: Board members email you from known domains or specific addresses.
Outlook rule (recommended)
This ensures every board email is automatically flagged the moment it arrives.
2) Add flagged board emails to your task list
Outlook flags integrate directly with Microsoft To Do. Any flagged email appears in To Do → Flagged Email. Due date follows the flag you choose (Today, Tomorrow, Custom, etc.).
Best practice (1-click workflow)
When a board email arrives, keep the auto-flag. Adjust to Today or This week if needed. It immediately shows up as an actionable task. No extra setup beyond the rule above.
3) Block off a free hour this afternoon
Assumptions: You want focused work time, no meetings. "This afternoon" = a typical focus window.
Suggested calendar block:
How to add quickly (Outlook Calendar):
✅ End result
By doing this, you now have: 📩 Board emails automatically flagged ✅ Every board request tracked in your task list 🕒 A protected hour to process and act on them. If you want, next we can: auto-create tasks with a specific due date, get a daily digest of board emails, or turn this into a recurring weekly board-review block. Just say the word.
Power Automate asks you to build flows, configure connectors, and debug error logs. Microclaw lets you just describe what you want — in plain English, in the same Teams conversation you already use. It handles everything else, and fires the moment the trigger happens.
Power Automate calls itself no-code, but rarely is. Conditions mean expressions. Branch logic means diagrams. When Microsoft updates a connector, flows break without warning — you only find out when nothing happens. Want to change the rule? Back in the builder. Want five automations? Five flows to build, test, and maintain.
"When I get an email from the board, flag it and create a task" — as a Power Automate flow:
{
"title": "@{triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']}",
"importance": "high",
"dueDateTime": {
"dateTime": "@{addDays(utcNow(), 1)}",
"timeZone": "UTC"
},
"linkedResources": [{
"webUrl": "@{triggerOutputs()?['body/webLink']}",
"applicationName": "Outlook",
"displayName": "@{triggerOutputs()?['body/from']}"
}]
}
Email, calendar, tasks, Excel, files, Teams, OneNote, Planner, SharePoint — read and write across all of it in one conversation.
Read, search, summarize, send, reply, forward, flag, and draft. Ask it to find emails by topic, person, or date. Have it synthesize a thread before you reply. Reads attachments too — PDFs, Word docs, and images.
Create, update, and delete events. "Find a time for me, Sarah, and Tom this week" — it checks everyone's availability and proposes slots. Set reminders and get a morning briefing of your day.
Send messages to channels, read channel history, @mention colleagues. Everything you do in Teams manually, done in plain English.
Look up colleagues, check availability and presence, find anyone in your org directory. Create and update contacts.
Create and manage your personal task list. Mark things complete, set due dates, and stay on top of follow-ups — all from the same conversation.
Create and update tasks on team boards. Assign work, track status, and move cards — without leaving your Teams conversation.
Read, search, upload, and summarize your personal files. Ask it to find a document, pull key points from a report, or save an attachment.
Search and read files across team sites and group libraries. Find shared documents, pull content from a team site, or check what's in a project folder.
Read notebooks and pages. Pull content from your notes into a conversation, answer questions about your notebook, search across sections.
Read data and update specific cells or ranges — without downloading the file. Works on any Excel file in OneDrive or SharePoint. Ask it what's in a column, update a value, or pull a summary from a table.
Set up rules in plain English. "When I get an email from the board, flag it and create a task." Fires the moment it happens — not on a timer.
Message Microclaw from your phone, desktop, or browser — wherever Teams runs, Microclaw is there. It runs in the cloud, not on your machine, so it's always on — even when your laptop is off.
One search across email, files, people, and sites at the same time. Find anything in your Microsoft 365 account without knowing where it lives.
Summarize meetings, extract action items, and answer questions about what was discussed — minutes after a call ends.
Tell it to do something at a specific time. "Every Monday at 9am, send me a summary of last week's emails from the sales team." It remembers.
Tell it your preferences once — how you like emails formatted, who to always CC, what to skip — and it applies them every time.
Install from AppSource, sign in with your Microsoft account, and start talking. No Azure subscription, no API keys, no infrastructure to manage.
Find Microclaw in the Microsoft AppSource marketplace and click Get it now. Your subscription starts immediately — billed monthly through Microsoft.
Microsoft AppSourceOpen Teams and message the Microclaw bot. Sign in with your existing Microsoft 365 account. Microclaw inherits your permissions exactly — it can only do what you can do.
Microsoft sign-inThat's it. Ask it anything — read my emails, schedule a meeting, create a task, check a spreadsheet. No manual, no training, no Azure portal. Just plain English.
Microsoft TeamsOrgs with compliance requirements can deploy Microclaw to their own Azure subscription — your data never touches our infrastructure. Same $25/month; you pay your own Azure hosting (~$13/mo) and OpenAI usage directly to Microsoft. No message cap. Browser-based setup takes about 15 minutes, guided step by step.

Most AI tools give you vague privacy assurances. We give you two clearly defined options — pick the one that fits your requirements.
Your messages and Microsoft 365 data transit our servers to process your request. We never store conversation content after a session ends. Data is encrypted in transit. Strict per-tenant isolation is enforced at the database layer — no cross-tenant access is possible by design.
When your conversation is over, the content is gone. We retain user preferences you explicitly save (like writing style or key contacts) and your automation rules — nothing else. Cancel your subscription and we retain nothing.
Microclaw uses your Microsoft account credentials via delegated OAuth. It can only access what your account can access — it has no elevated privileges. Your organization's existing Microsoft permissions and Purview policies apply automatically.
Microclaw deploys as a container inside your Azure subscription. Every message, every Graph API call, every AI query stays within your own Microsoft environment. We supply the software; you control the servers. Purview, DLP, and eDiscovery apply automatically — no configuration required.
Azure Container Apps hosting: ~$13/month fixed. Azure OpenAI usage: ~$5–14/user/month at typical use. All billed directly by Microsoft — we never see your usage costs. As you add users, the fixed hosting cost amortizes — the Self-Hosted plan gets cheaper per user the more you add.

How it works →Read and write are separate permissions for every app. Microclaw can see your email by default — but sending email, managing files, or creating calendar events requires you to turn it on explicitly. Your organization can lock specific permissions at the admin level before users ever see them.
Microclaw can see your email, calendar, tasks, and files out of the box — so it can help without any configuration.
Sending email, creating calendar events, uploading files — all off by default. One toggle to enable any of them, and just as easy to turn back off.
IT can restrict permissions org-wide before deployment. Locked rows can't be changed by individual users.
You're giving Microclaw access to your email, calendar, and files. Here's exactly what that means — and what it doesn't.
Conversations are processed in memory and discarded the moment a response is sent. Nothing is written to a database. There is no conversation log on our end.
Your email, calendar events, and files are never used to train models — ours or anyone else's. Your data is only ever read in the context of fulfilling your specific request.
Microclaw reads and writes only the specific resource your request requires. It does not scan your inbox proactively, index your files in the background, or retain access between conversations.
Every request between your Teams client, Microclaw, and Microsoft's APIs is encrypted over TLS. Nothing travels in plain text. No intermediary storage. Request in, response out.
Microclaw operates within the OAuth scopes your admin approves. It cannot do anything your Microsoft 365 permissions don't already allow. You can revoke access at any time from your Microsoft account settings.
The Self-Hosted plan runs entirely within your own Azure subscription. Your data never leaves your environment. We ship the software; you run the infrastructure. See pricing →
Same product, same price, same features. The only difference is who runs the infrastructure — and what that means for your data.
| 1 user | 5 users | 10 users | 25 users | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Software license ($25/user) | $25 | $125 | $250 | $625 |

| Azure OpenAI (~$9/user) | ~$9 | ~$45 | ~$90 | ~$225 |
| Per user / month | ~$47 | ~$37 | ~$35 | ~$34 |
* $25/user/month is the software license for both plans, billed via Microsoft AppSource. Standard plan: includes 1,500 messages/month; overage $0.01/message via Stripe, never hard-stops. Self-Hosted plan: you also pay Azure infrastructure costs (Container Apps ~$13/month fixed + Azure OpenAI ~$9/user/month at typical use) directly to Microsoft — Microclaw never sees those charges.
