Microsoft Unveils Scout Autopilot for Microsoft 365, Extending AI Across Teams, Outlook and OneDrive
3 articles · Updated · Microsoft · Jun 2
Scout is Microsoft's first "Autopilot" agent—an always-on AI for Microsoft 365 that can act autonomously across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive and SharePoint instead of waiting for repeated prompts.
Built to cut coordination work, it can schedule meetings across time zones, flag important sessions, prepare materials, block calendar time for deliverables and surface stalled decisions before they become blockers.
Microsoft said Scout runs under its own governed Entra identity, with task-scoped credentials, Purview policy enforcement and optional human sign-off for sensitive actions rather than bypassing existing enterprise controls.
The agent is powered by OpenClaw technology, and Microsoft said it is contributing policy-conformance features upstream so organizations can verify secure, compliant OpenClaw deployments.
Scout is moving from internal use to a private preview for select customers and Frontier organizations; access requires Frontier enrollment, Intune configuration, opt-in attestation and a GitHub Copilot license.
