Launched at Microsoft Build on June 2, Scout is Microsoft's first Autopilot agent — an always-on AI assistant integrated with Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint that proactively schedules meetings, blocks calendar time, and flags stalled decisions. Available via the Frontier early-access program, requiring a GitHub Copilot and Intune license.
Why it matters
First enterprise AI agent from Microsoft that takes autonomous calendar and workflow actions without explicit user invocation.
