Build the thing that builds the thing | BRK245

This Microsoft Build 2026 session demonstrates how Microsoft builds an ecosystem of tools to develop OpenClaw (an open source project) more efficiently. It covers maintainer dashboards integrating GitHub and Discord data, automated crawl systems for issue management, cross-platform testing expansion, and VNC integration for full UI bug reproduction. The session explores how AI is shifting from limited by intelligence to limited by imagination, and discusses balancing ecosystem dependencies with agent interoperability. Targeted at developers interested in DevOps automation, AI-assisted development, and building developer tooling ecosystems.
