- Microsoft launches new personal AI agent, Microsoft Scout
Microsoft Scout is a new AI agent thats available today to early-access Microsoft 365 customers.
- Microsoft unveils Scout, an autonomous AI agent built on OpenClaw
Microsoft has developed a new AI agent that can run autonomously around the clock to complete tasks across Microsoft 365 applications. Microsoft Scout, unveiled at the company’s Build event Tuesday, is a new type of always-on agent based on the OpenClaw agent framework that Microsoft calls “autopilots.” These act on a user’s behalf with their own governed Entra identity, Omar Shahine , corporate vice president at Microsoft, said in a blog post. “Autopilots stay active in the background, understand how work gets done across your apps and systems, and take action without needing to be prompted each time,” said Shahine, a Microsoft veteran who recently announced he is leading a new team to bring OpenClaw-based personal assistants to Microsoft 365 apps. Microsoft Scout connects to apps such as Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint, and accesses data from chat, email, calendar, and contacts. Accessed via Teams, it can also interact with a user’s browser and with external apps via model context protocol (MCP). The tool functions across cloud, desktop, and the web. Shahine said Scout can reduce mundane tasks that office workers face, such as coordinating and scheduling meeting times with colleagues, or blocking times in a user’s calendar based on upcoming work commitments. “It can also spot risks, like stalled decisions, so you can address them before they become blockers,” he said. It’s available as an “experimental release” to customers of the company’s Frontier program, Microsoft said, and will require Intune policy configuration and “opt-in attestation.” Scout is the latest in a range of agentic tools available in Microsoft 365 apps, including Agent Mode , where users can interact with Microsoft 365 Copilot inside apps such as Word and Excel to create content, and Copilot Cowork — Microsoft’s version of Anthropic’s Claude Cowork agent that can complete tasks independently. Despite the company’s big AI push, Microsoft has struggled to convince businesses that Microsoft 365 Copilot is worth the additional cost; it’s advertised at $30 per user each month for large businesses. Around 3% of Microsoft 365 customers pay for the add-on subscription, the company said in January, with 15 million paid users. (Microsoft announced last month that that figure has now risen to 20 million.) It’s not clear whether Scout will be included in Microsoft 365 Copilot subscriptions or charged separately. Microsoft did not immediately provide additional details about pricing. The launch follows Google’s recent announcement of Spark, an autonomous agent that runs within the Google Workspace application suite. Spark can also be considered a response to the launch of OpenClaw last year, initially under the name “Clawdbot.” OpenClaw has drawn scrutiny due to apparent security flaws , but Microsoft promises Scout is built with “enterprise-grade security and controls, so it can be trusted in your organization from day one.” Microsoft said it will also contribute upstream to the open-source OpenClaw project.

- Anthropic faces AI spending backlash before IPO
Anthropic filed paperwork to go public just as corporate America is entering its AI sticker shock phase. Why it matters: Companies are Anthropic's biggest customers. If they dial down their AI spend, that could weaken the AI lab's revenue just as the it prepares to IPO. Driving the news: Hours after Anthropic filed its pre-IPO paperwork, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told CNBC that corporate concern over AI costs is "the most fair criticism of AI so far." Bain published a survey of nearly 1,000 companies showing that after investing in AI, "the value didn't arrive," with 40% of surveyed companies reporting AI cost savings below 10%. An early Anthropic investor tells Axios that companies are waking up to how much they're spending on Claude, Anthropic's AI model. That's a risk worth monitoring, the investor said. This comes after an AI consultant told Axios a CFO client accidentally spent half a billion dollars on Claude in a single month. Between the lines: Even AI executives are acknowledging their technology has a cost problem. "The risk of enterprises switching to cheaper models is existential and, frankly, escalating," Matt Rogers, co-founder and CEO of Mill, who also worked on the original iPhone, told Axios via email. "Some open source LLMs [large language models] are as good without the price tag," he added. Threat level: Corporate pushback on AI spend would be a challenge for every AI lab, but Anthropic could feel it more given its exposure to enterprise customers. In April, Anthropic surpassed OpenAI in business customers for the first time, per Ramp data . Business revenue has been Anthropic's greatest strength, given these customers pay more than everyday people. It could become Anthropic's Achilles heel if businesses start to rebel against AI costs. Reality check: Anthropic is on track for nearly $50 billion in annual revenue per its latest funding round , and its first profitable quarter ever according to the Wall Street Journal . Anthropic keeps beating its own growth metrics , while competitor OpenAI is reportedly missing internal revenue targets . It's also the fastest-growing company in modern American history. But the AI race is far from over : "You can't make a three- or five-year bet in this space ... someone can jump over everybody else by coming up with the next great thing," Michael Levine, CFO of Fireblocks, told Axios. The bottom line: AI labs are looking to go public right as their biggest customers are figuring out how to define their relationship with AI.
