Microsoft Introduces Scout: The Always-On Personal AI Agent
Microsoft has officially unveiled Microsoft Scout, a new AI-powered personal agent designed to work continuously in the background and help users manage tasks, schedules, communications, and workflow...
The biggest problem with Scout is how many subscriptions you need to use it. I currently have Microsoft 365 Business Standard, a M365 Copilot license, and a GitHub Copilot license, and I still don't have enough subscriptions to use this. To use it, I would need to go from Business Standard to Premium for an additional $9.50 a month. All because Standard doesn't have Intune. Paying $52.50 a month isn't enough. You need to pay $62 a month. Then, if you use it a lot, you have to pay for more usage on your GitHub Copilot Subscription.
Why do you need 2 AI subscriptions to use this? It doesn't even seem like it's using the M365 Copilot subscription?
I guess I'll stick with OpenClaw. I can use that for free if I use a local model.
