Microsoft has just launched Scout, a new personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistant designed to support users within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Scout is built on OpenClaw, an AI platform that garnered attention in the tech world in early 2026. Microsoft's new tool acts as a readily available assistant, accompanying users as they handle tasks on their computers and web browsers.

Users can name their own Scout assistant and then provide continuous feedback so the tool can better understand the tasks that need to be automated. According to Omar Shahine, Vice President of Scout, the goal is to create an assistant that can adapt to each individual's unique work habits.

Scout can connect with email, calendars, and other systems. The tool includes built-in features such as calendar management and meeting agenda creation. However, Microsoft expects Scout's greatest value to come from the skills users develop during use.

In other words, Scout can gradually learn from how users work. The more guidance and adjustments users make, the better the assistant can understand individual needs and provide more effective support.

Scout is currently offered through Microsoft's Frontier program, which allows select users to test new products. To use Scout, users need a GitHub Copilot subscription.

Microsoft also emphasized safety when deploying Scout, given concerns about the potential for automated AI assistants to act outside of established guidelines. Scout is equipped with a policy checking system that continuously monitors whether the tool is operating in accordance with established regulations. Each check also leaves a trace for review purposes.

Scout is one of several AI products announced by Microsoft at its annual Build developer conference, along with Project Solara, an update to Copilot, and a new AI model capable of reasoning.
