Microsoft Autopilot Description
Microsoft Autopilot is a persistent, proactive AI agent within Microsoft Copilot that is designed to perform ongoing work on behalf of users and teams. Formerly known as Scout, Autopilot can be assigned a role and goal and then continue executing tasks without waiting for repeated instructions. It can monitor communication channels, follow up on threads, run recurring processes, and return to a project days later while preserving context. Microsoft describes use cases such as managing a supplier review process, building schedules and workback plans, preparing for meetings, handling follow-ups, and requesting updates from stakeholders. Because Autopilot is cloud-hosted, it can continue working even when the user is not actively using Copilot. The agent operates inside the organization’s Microsoft 365 tenant with its own identity, memory, computer, and workspace. Microsoft IQ provides business context so Autopilot can better understand organizational knowledge, data, and workflows. The agent can appear in Teams, Outlook, chats, channels, and documents and can be mentioned similarly to a colleague. Organizations retain control through permissions, audit capabilities, governance, defined objectives, and boundaries around the work Autopilot performs.
