Four open source projects to explore at Microsoft Build

Source: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/linuxandopensourceblog/four-open-source-projects-to-explore-at-microsoft-build/4523744 Open source is where developers experiment, collaborate, and turn new ideas into tools that others can build on. AtMicrosoft Build, we’re creating a dedicated space for that energy: the Open Source Zone.

This year, the Open Source Zone will bring together maintainers, contributors, and developers working on some of the most interesting open source projects in AI. Whether you’re building agents, experimenting with local models, exploring prompt workflows, or looking for practical ways to bring AI into your development process, this is a place to meet the people behind the projects and see what they’re building.

The Open Source Zone is inspired by similar community spaces we’ve hosted at GitHub Universe: hands-on, conversation-driven, and centered on the people and projects moving open source forward.

OpenClaw, originally Clawbot,formerlyClawdbot andbrieflyMoltbot,before landing on its current name(because naming is hard), is a personal AI assistant project built for developers who want more control over how AI agents run across tools, devices, and workflows. Its repository describes it as “your own personal AI assistant” across operating systems and platforms, with support for agent workspaces, skills, and device nodes.

It has also become one of the fastest-growing open source projects on GitHub, with over 370,000 stars to date.

At the Open Source Zone, attendees can learn how OpenClaw approaches personal agents, extensibility, and local-first experimentation.

AutoGPTis one of the best-known open source projects in the autonomous agent space. The project’s mission is to make AI accessible for everyone to use and build on, with tools for building, testing, and delegating work to agents.

Visit AutoGPT in the Open Source Zone to learn how the project is evolving agent development, benchmarking, frontend experiences, and practical workflows for building agent-powered applications. Come for the autonomous agents; stay for the very human maintainers.

AutoGPT is also amember of GitHub’s SecureOpen SourceFund, with a goal of enhancing AI security across the open source ecosystem.

Open WebUIis a self-hosted, extensible AI platform for working with large language models. The project supports Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs and includes built-in RAG capabilities, making it a strong option for developers and organizations exploring local, private, or provider-flexible AI experiences.

At Build, the Open WebUI team will show how developers can run, customize, and extend AI interfaces for their own environments.

prompts.chat,formerly Awesome ChatGPT Prompts, is a curated collection of prompt examples for AI chat models. The project is designed to help people discover, share, and build better prompts for modern AI assistants.

Created byFatih Kadir Akın, aGitHub Starfrom Istanbul, prompts.chat reflects his work at the intersection of open source, developer education, and AI-assisted development. Fatih leads Developer Relations at Teknasyon, has authored books on JavaScript and prompt engineering, and is active in the community as a speaker, organizer, and contributor.

Stop by to explore prompt libraries, prompt engineering resources, self-hosting options, and ways the community is making prompting more reusable and collaborative.

Microsoft Build takes place June 2–3, 2026, in San Francisco and online. In-person passes are available, and online registration is free for livestreamed keynote and select session access.

Register for Microsoft Buildand come visit the Open Source Zone to meet the teams behind OpenClaw, AutoGPT, Open WebUI, and prompts.chat.

We’ll see you there. <3
