Microsoft Launches Autopilot Agent Scout

Microsoft launched Scout, its first always-on agentic AI, designed to operate autonomously across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Scout monitors user workflows and takes actions like scheduling meetings, flagging important events, and blocking calendar time for deadlines without prompts. It operates continuously in the background, connecting to chat, email, calendar, and contacts data. Organizations can set access controls to restrict Scout's actions.
