Microsoft delivered major AI announcements this year at its annual developer conference, Microsoft Build.
One of the biggest AI announcements from today’s event is arguably Microsoft Scout, a brand new personal AI agent from the company. Microsoft Scout is the first in a new category of AI agents that Microsoft is calling Autopilots, “always-on agents that work autonomously, with their own identity, and act on your behalf.”
“As models become more capable and more available, the differentiator for any organization is no longer access to intelligence, but ownership,” Microsoft said in a statement. “How does your expertise, data and way of working become a system that continuously learns and drives better outcomes? The goal is an ecosystem that gives companies their own agency, not one that funnels value back to a consultant or the model maker.”
“Your agents should reflect how you think and operate, from your business logic and institutional knowledge, down to your workflows,” the company continued.
