Microsoft unveils Scout, an autonomous AI agent built on OpenClaw

▤ Summary

Microsoft has introduced Scout, an always-on autonomous AI agent for Microsoft 365. The agent can work across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, the web, and external apps to handle scheduling, coordination, and other routine tasks without repeated prompts. Microsoft is releasing Scout experimentally through its Frontier program and says it will require Intune policy configuration and opt-in attestation. The launch expands Microsoft’s agentic AI lineup and signals continued investment in enterprise workflow automation and governed AI. It also raises an open question about pricing and whether Scout will be bundled with Microsoft 365 Copilot or sold separately.
