Microsoft Scout: A New AI Assistant for Businesses Built on OpenClaw
Microsoft has launched Scout, an AI assistant built on OpenClaw and integrated into Microsoft 365 apps. It helps businesses assign virtual assistants to employees for tasks like organizing calendars, drafting emails, and expense reporting.
Microsoft has introduced Scout, a new AI personal assistant built on OpenClaw. Much like Google's own version of OpenClaw, Scout integrates seamlessly into Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. This always-on assistant allows businesses to assign a virtual assistant to employees to help with organizing calendars, expense reporting, email drafts, and much more.
For businesses, Scout could be a game-changer. Imagine having a virtual assistant that can manage your schedule, draft emails, and even handle expense reports. This means less time spent on administrative tasks and more time focusing on important work. It's like having a personal assistant that never sleeps, always ready to help.
It's important to note that Scout is distinct from Microsoft's existing Copilot assistant. While Copilot lives inside specific apps, Scout is designed as a more comprehensive, always-on assistant that can work across multiple Microsoft 365 applications.
If you use Microsoft 365, you can start using Scout today. Open any of your Microsoft 365 apps and look for the Scout icon to get started. It's designed to be intuitive, so you can begin using it right away without a steep learning curve.
