Scout

Microsoft is expanding testing of “Autopilot,” a new class of autonomous agents for work. “Scout,” the first agent, integrates with Microsoft 365 to automate tasks, manage data, and enhance productivity. Built on OpenClaw and featuring enterprise-grade security, Scout aims to free up users for strategic work. IT administrators will have robust management and security controls, with data governance handled by Microsoft Purview. Sensitive actions require human sign-off, balancing automation with oversight.
