Microsoft Scout, New Enterprise Autopilot Built on OpenClaw, Announced at Build 2026

Microsoft has introduced Scout, an always-on agent categorized as an enterprise Autopilot, during its Build 2026 conference. Unlike traditional assistants that require specific prompts, this tool functions autonomously with its own identity to execute tasks on a user’s behalf. Built on the new OpenClaw framework, the agent is designed to operate continuously within corporate environments.
