Microsoft Scout Debuts as a 24/7 AI Colleague in Teams

Microsoft unveiled Scout, an always-on AI agent integrated with Teams that can read messages, calendars, and email to automate tasks, resolve scheduling conflicts, and draft responses. Built atop OpenClaw, Scout is aimed at acting as a personal enterprise assistant with a limited rollout and a desktop app in testing, currently requiring a GitHub Copilot subscription for access. While it promises productivity gains, it introduces risks like prompt-injection and will require admin monitoring. Google’s Gemini Spark is a competing, enterprise-focused AI agent, marking a broader shift toward agent-first automation in white-collar work.
