Microsoft Scout: OpenClaw-Powered Personal AI for Microsoft 365
Microsoft is previewing Scout, an always-on personal AI assistant built on OpenClaw that integrates with Microsoft 365 apps to manage calendars, emails, travel, and tasks. It reads Teams and email to surface what matters, can suggest optimal travel times, and is designed to run in the cloud with a desktop Frontier preview in the US before broader rollout, backed by security measures like sandboxing, Defender, and privacy reviews. Microsoft is contributing to the OpenClaw core rather than shipping a separate product, while Google pursues Gemini Spark to connect with Workspace apps, signaling a new enterprise AI race.
