Meet Microsoft Scout.

An always-on agent that keeps work moving, taking action without needing to be prompted each time.

The Story
Microsoft looks set to use its Build conference on June 2 in San Francisco to lay the groundwork for the unified Copilot super app it has been building under the internal slogan “Delivering one Copilot.”

Freshly surfaced screenshots provide the clearest look yet at the shell. Earlier views showed the Scout always-on agent within an Autopilot section; two new tabs now complete the picture.

The first is a coding surface with the GitHub Copilot mark, closely mapping to the Claude Code panel in the Claude app. It allows users to pick a work tree, points to both remote environments and local repositories, carries a model selector, lists every repo, and adds Routines, a scheduled-task layer built for code. Sitting atop GitHub Copilot and its millions of paying developers, it could be a real upgrade for teams already standardized on GitHub, especially once Microsoft’s own coding model arrives tuned for GitHub Copilot-specific tool use.
ICYMI: Microsoft is preparing upgrades for image and voice models, too.
The second tab, Cowork, pulls from several sources, aggregates the data, and proposes prompts like preparing for the week from a calendar or researching a company, similar to Copilot’s current document and presentation work. The open question is about local files: the screenshot shows it running in Edge via a URL, so whether it reaches the desktop or remains fully remote is unconfirmed. A sidebar with Library and Projects keeps these jobs apart from plain chat, coding, and Autopilot.
The division matters because the company, with Jacob Andreou now leading Copilot after a reshuffle, is trying to boost weak adoption by folding scattered tools into a single home, just as OpenAI and Anthropic converge on the same always-on, multi-mode pattern. Teams integration hints that Scout could run remotely, the nearest Microsoft may get to the chat-app control that made such agents popular. A nod at Build looks probable, though the app itself is aimed at late summer.
