WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:05.599 - Welcome to episode 430 2 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:08.639 - of the Microsoft Cloud IT Pro podcast recorded 3 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:11.300 - live on 06/15/2026. 4 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.839 - This is a show about Microsoft three sixty 5 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.024 - five and Azure from the perspective of IT 6 00:00:16.024 --> 00:00:18.184 - pros and end users, where we discuss the 7 00:00:18.184 --> 00:00:20.504 - topic or recent news and how it relates 8 00:00:20.504 --> 00:00:21.164 - to you. 9 00:00:21.545 --> 00:00:25.004 - In this episode, Ben and Scott explore Microsoft 10 00:00:25.224 --> 00:00:28.660 - Scout, the new desktop AI application announced at 11 00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:31.640 - Microsoft Build. They walked through the real onboarding 12 00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:34.439 - experience on both Mac and Windows, the licensing 13 00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:37.539 - maze and admin controls needed to activate it, 14 00:00:37.539 --> 00:00:39.159 - and how Scout's architecture 15 00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:41.505 - ties together models, automations, 16 00:00:41.885 --> 00:00:45.645 - and integrations like MCP servers, GitHub Copilot, and 17 00:00:45.645 --> 00:00:46.145 - WorkIQ. 18 00:00:46.604 --> 00:00:49.344 - Let's go Scout out Microsoft Scout. 19 00:00:51.804 --> 00:00:53.425 - Today, we're gonna talk about 20 00:00:54.045 --> 00:00:55.344 - Microsoft Scout, 21 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:56.579 - aka 22 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.179 - Microsoft's new desktop 23 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:00.820 - application 24 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.739 - that interacts with, well, all sorts of things. 25 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:05.379 - Traditional 26 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.439 - skills, like you might be using, like Cloud 27 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.439 - Code style skills, like we've talked about in 28 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:10.819 - the past. Agents, 29 00:01:11.625 --> 00:01:14.444 - interacts with local file system, web browsers, 30 00:01:14.905 --> 00:01:15.724 - has WorkIQ 31 00:01:16.344 --> 00:01:16.844 - integration 32 00:01:17.465 --> 00:01:19.145 - ish. I think we should talk about that 33 00:01:19.145 --> 00:01:19.805 - and kinda 34 00:01:20.665 --> 00:01:23.005 - how that manifests and comes together, supports MCP 35 00:01:23.064 --> 00:01:25.810 - servers, local skills, all sorts of cool stuff. 36 00:01:25.810 --> 00:01:27.590 - So this was announced at Build, 37 00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:30.450 - Microsoft Build a couple weeks ago. So it's 38 00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:33.250 - in the Frontier program. Customers can go and 39 00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:34.469 - grab it. Although, 40 00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:36.609 - maybe we should start with it's both an 41 00:01:36.609 --> 00:01:37.990 - m three sixty five 42 00:01:38.564 --> 00:01:41.784 - Frontier thing plus a GitHub Copilot thing 43 00:01:42.164 --> 00:01:43.864 - for some of the AI usage 44 00:01:44.244 --> 00:01:45.604 - and and all of that. So I don't 45 00:01:45.604 --> 00:01:47.045 - know where you wanna start. I think a 46 00:01:47.045 --> 00:01:49.125 - good grounding is, like I said, Scout is 47 00:01:49.125 --> 00:01:50.424 - a desktop application 48 00:01:50.884 --> 00:01:52.265 - that interacts with 49 00:01:52.730 --> 00:01:55.770 - cloud LLMs plus your local file system, local 50 00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:56.510 - web browser, 51 00:01:56.890 --> 00:01:58.750 - supports MCP integrations, 52 00:01:59.210 --> 00:02:00.189 - supports skills, 53 00:02:00.490 --> 00:02:03.230 - both import from GitHub and traditional marketplaces, 54 00:02:04.250 --> 00:02:06.364 - create your own kind of thing. I think 55 00:02:06.364 --> 00:02:08.604 - it's got some interesting concepts and things going 56 00:02:08.604 --> 00:02:10.044 - on that we can spend a little bit 57 00:02:10.044 --> 00:02:12.125 - of time and talk about. But why don't 58 00:02:12.125 --> 00:02:14.284 - we talk about onboarding and getting this all 59 00:02:14.284 --> 00:02:14.784 - going? 60 00:02:15.245 --> 00:02:16.544 - Let's start there because 61 00:02:16.925 --> 00:02:19.564 - I went in to onboard this, and it 62 00:02:19.564 --> 00:02:19.805 - was 63 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:22.609 - I will say it was an interesting experience 64 00:02:23.150 --> 00:02:24.769 - to onboard this because 65 00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:28.590 - it's different. It's different. We'll start there. So 66 00:02:28.590 --> 00:02:30.750 - I downloaded it right away when I wanted 67 00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:32.109 - to get this set up and start playing 68 00:02:32.109 --> 00:02:33.169 - with it. And 69 00:02:33.564 --> 00:02:34.544 - you download the application 70 00:02:35.245 --> 00:02:37.584 - and start running it, and this is macOS. 71 00:02:37.645 --> 00:02:39.245 - We should also say this is both on 72 00:02:39.245 --> 00:02:41.965 - macOS and Windows already. So when they announced 73 00:02:41.965 --> 00:02:43.164 - it came out with it, they came out 74 00:02:43.164 --> 00:02:44.305 - with it for both platforms. 75 00:02:44.685 --> 00:02:47.969 - And you're immediately prompted with a Microsoft three 76 00:02:47.969 --> 00:02:48.949 - sixty five login 77 00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:50.870 - and a GitHub login. 78 00:02:51.169 --> 00:02:54.049 - So I was like, okay. Perfect. Let me 79 00:02:54.049 --> 00:02:56.289 - go log in. And I got blocked right 80 00:02:56.289 --> 00:02:58.629 - away. I couldn't log in because 81 00:02:59.329 --> 00:02:59.409 - it 82 00:03:00.415 --> 00:03:01.155 - the documentation 83 00:03:01.455 --> 00:03:03.715 - on this is mixed. What I have seen 84 00:03:03.775 --> 00:03:04.275 - is 85 00:03:04.655 --> 00:03:05.474 - this requires 86 00:03:06.014 --> 00:03:08.575 - both some level of Microsoft three sixty five 87 00:03:08.575 --> 00:03:11.955 - Copilot licensing because this has to be enabled 88 00:03:12.094 --> 00:03:15.474 - in Microsoft three sixty five in order to 89 00:03:15.775 --> 00:03:19.189 - work. There's some admin controls there. So the 90 00:03:19.189 --> 00:03:21.110 - first thing I had to do was I 91 00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:23.189 - had to actually log in to Microsoft three 92 00:03:23.189 --> 00:03:24.009 - sixty five 93 00:03:24.389 --> 00:03:25.449 - as an admin 94 00:03:25.909 --> 00:03:26.409 - and 95 00:03:26.870 --> 00:03:28.409 - enable it within 96 00:03:28.949 --> 00:03:31.605 - my Microsoft three sixty five tenant. So the 97 00:03:31.605 --> 00:03:34.405 - prerequisites are a Microsoft three sixty five workers 98 00:03:34.405 --> 00:03:37.224 - school account, a Microsoft three sixty five Copilot 99 00:03:37.605 --> 00:03:38.105 - access, 100 00:03:38.485 --> 00:03:40.965 - and an active Microsoft three sixty five Copilot 101 00:03:40.965 --> 00:03:43.705 - license assigned to your account, local admin permissions, 102 00:03:43.764 --> 00:03:46.780 - which that's to install the app, and a 103 00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:50.159 - GitHub Copilot license. That is two Copilot licenses, 104 00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:50.719 - Scott. 105 00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:53.659 - It's Copilot for your Copilot. It is. So 106 00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:56.139 - it's going in, logging into the admin workspace, 107 00:03:56.139 --> 00:03:57.819 - and I was trying to find it right 108 00:03:57.819 --> 00:03:59.344 - here where it actually 109 00:03:59.805 --> 00:04:00.305 - was 110 00:04:00.604 --> 00:04:02.284 - in the admin center, and I lost it 111 00:04:02.284 --> 00:04:03.025 - in my documentation. 112 00:04:03.564 --> 00:04:05.485 - But there is I think it's in the 113 00:04:05.485 --> 00:04:05.985 - Copilot 114 00:04:07.245 --> 00:04:09.644 - settings in the admin center, and I am 115 00:04:09.644 --> 00:04:11.919 - not sure why I'm not finding it here 116 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.419 - admin. 117 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.680 - Yeah. There's the access setup, admin access overview. 118 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:16.819 - Who does? Documentation 119 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.600 - is on. You have to be enabled in 120 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.319 - Frontier, like you said. Go turn that on, 121 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.060 - and then 122 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:23.860 - go. 123 00:04:25.105 --> 00:04:26.944 - And this is where it's I would say 124 00:04:26.944 --> 00:04:28.564 - it's a little mixed in the admin center. 125 00:04:28.785 --> 00:04:31.105 - The Microsoft guidelines walk you through setting up 126 00:04:31.105 --> 00:04:32.245 - an Intune policy 127 00:04:32.545 --> 00:04:34.084 - or a GPO policy. 128 00:04:34.384 --> 00:04:37.024 - So you could do this through AD to 129 00:04:37.024 --> 00:04:38.404 - actually enable Frontier 130 00:04:38.944 --> 00:04:39.685 - on the machines. 131 00:04:40.039 --> 00:04:42.919 - So there's either a configuration policy that you 132 00:04:42.919 --> 00:04:45.259 - have to set to enable this or 133 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.120 - a GPO to just and it it pushes 134 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.759 - down that registry setting to enable on your 135 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.000 - device. So you can probably work around that. 136 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.395 - Right? You could go download ADMX files, make 137 00:04:55.395 --> 00:04:57.555 - changes to your local machine, all of that 138 00:04:57.555 --> 00:04:59.714 - to get it enabled. Easiest way is Intune 139 00:04:59.714 --> 00:05:02.055 - or GPO. So I got that pushed down, 140 00:05:02.115 --> 00:05:03.875 - went to go log in to Scout again, 141 00:05:03.875 --> 00:05:05.395 - and now it's okay. You need to get 142 00:05:05.395 --> 00:05:06.774 - Hub Copilot license. 143 00:05:07.129 --> 00:05:08.269 - Perfect. I have 144 00:05:08.649 --> 00:05:09.149 - GitHub 145 00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:10.269 - Pro, 146 00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:11.230 - and 147 00:05:11.850 --> 00:05:14.569 - this is a license I already had for 148 00:05:14.569 --> 00:05:17.370 - my personal account. And it was like, so 149 00:05:17.529 --> 00:05:20.044 - well, I had the license, but it said, 150 00:05:20.044 --> 00:05:23.004 - oh, guess what? Scout does not work with 151 00:05:23.004 --> 00:05:25.485 - GitHub Pro on a personal one. You need 152 00:05:25.485 --> 00:05:27.904 - an enterprise GitHub Copilot license. 153 00:05:28.524 --> 00:05:30.125 - So then I had to go into my 154 00:05:30.125 --> 00:05:31.425 - organization in GitHub, 155 00:05:31.884 --> 00:05:33.584 - go purchase GitHub 156 00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:35.360 - Copilot for 157 00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:36.560 - my enterprise 158 00:05:37.339 --> 00:05:40.240 - account. And once I had that for enterprise, 159 00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:43.180 - now I was actually finally able to sign 160 00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:44.079 - in. So 161 00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:44.879 - GPOs, 162 00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:46.639 - downloading the application, 163 00:05:47.194 --> 00:05:49.914 - two different licenses, one a $30 a month 164 00:05:49.914 --> 00:05:51.834 - license. The other one, I think, is 18 165 00:05:51.834 --> 00:05:55.274 - or $19 a month. So a cumulative $50 166 00:05:55.274 --> 00:05:56.414 - a month in licensing 167 00:05:56.714 --> 00:06:00.074 - for Copilot between GitHub Copilot and Microsoft three 168 00:06:00.074 --> 00:06:00.974 - sixty five Copilot. 169 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.439 - Now I was finally able to log in 170 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:05.959 - and actually start using it. This is all 171 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.159 - before you've even said hello world or asked 172 00:06:09.159 --> 00:06:10.759 - a question or anything like that? I don't 173 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:12.839 - even know what the UI looks like or 174 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:14.454 - anything. I had to go set all of 175 00:06:14.454 --> 00:06:16.134 - this up before it even let me log 176 00:06:16.134 --> 00:06:18.535 - in to the application and get past the 177 00:06:18.535 --> 00:06:21.095 - initial splash screen once I installed it. It's 178 00:06:21.095 --> 00:06:22.935 - a little bit of work. It's a little 179 00:06:22.935 --> 00:06:25.095 - bit of work. Yeah. So so a a 180 00:06:25.095 --> 00:06:27.654 - little bit. Right? $50 before you even turn 181 00:06:27.654 --> 00:06:30.029 - it on and download the thing. So 182 00:06:30.990 --> 00:06:32.430 - why don't we talk a little bit about 183 00:06:32.430 --> 00:06:36.129 - that initial experience and what that looks like 184 00:06:36.189 --> 00:06:38.669 - and kinda how it comes together? So Scout's 185 00:06:38.669 --> 00:06:41.310 - a desktop application again. You kinda want it 186 00:06:41.310 --> 00:06:43.790 - running twenty four seven or as close to 187 00:06:43.790 --> 00:06:45.944 - twenty four seven as you can get depending 188 00:06:45.944 --> 00:06:48.845 - on your needs because it has these heartbeats 189 00:06:49.064 --> 00:06:49.964 - and automations 190 00:06:50.904 --> 00:06:52.985 - and other things that you can stand up 191 00:06:52.985 --> 00:06:54.845 - in it because it's got OpenClaw 192 00:06:55.225 --> 00:06:57.805 - ish whatever running in the background. So, effectively, 193 00:06:57.865 --> 00:07:00.439 - the Cron job can go and run and 194 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:01.660 - push out your prompts 195 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.800 - on a schedule. So you get presented with 196 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.879 - this window that's k. I can chat. I've 197 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:06.699 - got automations, 198 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:07.660 - cocreations, 199 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.040 - things like that. So why don't we talk 200 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.660 - a little bit about new chats 201 00:07:12.134 --> 00:07:13.814 - and what that looks like? So you just 202 00:07:13.814 --> 00:07:15.334 - go in, you fire up a new chat. 203 00:07:15.735 --> 00:07:17.115 - You're gonna get some 204 00:07:17.495 --> 00:07:18.314 - light prompts 205 00:07:18.854 --> 00:07:21.254 - around things, like, what should I focus on, 206 00:07:21.254 --> 00:07:23.894 - block some focus time with me, find my 207 00:07:23.894 --> 00:07:26.454 - chat with my manager or my direct reports, 208 00:07:26.454 --> 00:07:28.850 - whatever it happens to be, put those together. 209 00:07:29.229 --> 00:07:31.709 - So you can go basically, hello world or 210 00:07:31.709 --> 00:07:33.870 - start with one of these kind of baked 211 00:07:33.870 --> 00:07:34.610 - in prompts 212 00:07:34.910 --> 00:07:36.990 - to get you up and running. You get 213 00:07:36.990 --> 00:07:38.910 - to select a model that you run with. 214 00:07:38.910 --> 00:07:40.449 - So there is a model selector. 215 00:07:41.055 --> 00:07:43.955 - That becomes important because you're gonna select a 216 00:07:44.495 --> 00:07:46.495 - default model as part of your settings. So 217 00:07:46.495 --> 00:07:49.055 - are you gonna run with Opus four six, 218 00:07:49.055 --> 00:07:51.935 - GPT five five? Are you gonna do Opus 219 00:07:51.935 --> 00:07:54.370 - four eight, which came out recently? Or are 220 00:07:54.370 --> 00:07:56.410 - you gonna go into auto mode and let 221 00:07:56.410 --> 00:07:58.250 - it choose what's out there? I would say 222 00:07:58.250 --> 00:08:00.089 - this is another part of the admin thing. 223 00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:01.769 - We mentioned that you need to get Hub 224 00:08:01.769 --> 00:08:04.410 - Co pilot license. Right? And it's because when 225 00:08:04.410 --> 00:08:07.214 - you actually go run these, it's consuming 226 00:08:07.675 --> 00:08:08.654 - GitHub Copilot. 227 00:08:08.955 --> 00:08:11.435 - And I mentioned this because you brought up 228 00:08:11.435 --> 00:08:12.175 - these models. 229 00:08:12.475 --> 00:08:15.194 - The models that you have available to you 230 00:08:15.194 --> 00:08:16.175 - in Scout 231 00:08:16.475 --> 00:08:17.214 - are dictated 232 00:08:17.675 --> 00:08:19.995 - by which models you make available to your 233 00:08:19.995 --> 00:08:20.495 - organization 234 00:08:21.149 --> 00:08:24.189 - in GitHub Copilot. So that's another one of 235 00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:26.269 - those admin pieces once you get in here 236 00:08:26.269 --> 00:08:28.589 - is, like you said, I have cloud opus 237 00:08:28.589 --> 00:08:30.689 - 464845 238 00:08:30.990 --> 00:08:31.490 - GPT 239 00:08:31.949 --> 00:08:33.950 - five five five three. I don't have any 240 00:08:33.950 --> 00:08:36.215 - of the Google ones. I could go enable 241 00:08:36.215 --> 00:08:36.715 - Google 242 00:08:37.095 --> 00:08:39.894 - in GitHub Copilot, and then those would chart 243 00:08:39.975 --> 00:08:41.815 - start showing up here. Or if I wanted 244 00:08:41.815 --> 00:08:44.955 - to limit GPT or Claude depending on 245 00:08:45.335 --> 00:08:48.059 - my models I want available to my users, 246 00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:51.019 - you can control the model availability, but it's 247 00:08:51.019 --> 00:08:53.360 - all done through your GitHub Copilot 248 00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:55.419 - admin settings. This is a little bit more 249 00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:57.980 - of that model overload thing because not only 250 00:08:57.980 --> 00:08:59.519 - are you paying for GitHub Copilot, 251 00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:00.799 - but models 252 00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:02.559 - have different costs 253 00:09:03.044 --> 00:09:05.705 - for input tokens, output tokens. Basically, 254 00:09:06.164 --> 00:09:08.964 - what are you gonna burn through in token 255 00:09:08.964 --> 00:09:10.184 - usage on GitPilot, 256 00:09:10.565 --> 00:09:13.945 - on on on Scout as you're kinda chatting 257 00:09:14.164 --> 00:09:16.725 - and going about your day to day that's 258 00:09:16.725 --> 00:09:18.345 - there. So it is an important 259 00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:19.970 - cognitive thing, I think, 260 00:09:20.429 --> 00:09:22.190 - to think a little bit about what the 261 00:09:22.190 --> 00:09:24.750 - model is. So, like, I can say with 262 00:09:24.750 --> 00:09:26.509 - my employer, I'm a little bit lucky in 263 00:09:26.509 --> 00:09:29.389 - that I get unlimited usage, so I don't 264 00:09:29.389 --> 00:09:32.590 - worry about token consumption or things like that. 265 00:09:32.590 --> 00:09:34.774 - But I think in a world of 266 00:09:35.634 --> 00:09:36.134 - API, 267 00:09:36.754 --> 00:09:39.154 - per API call, per token kind of pricing, 268 00:09:39.154 --> 00:09:41.235 - which is very much like the way the 269 00:09:41.235 --> 00:09:42.615 - world is headed right now, 270 00:09:42.915 --> 00:09:44.995 - you do need to be intentional and think 271 00:09:44.995 --> 00:09:46.674 - about that a little bit. What's the best 272 00:09:46.674 --> 00:09:47.575 - model for 273 00:09:48.289 --> 00:09:50.610 - maybe your business? If you're a singular business, 274 00:09:50.610 --> 00:09:51.990 - maybe you think Opus, 275 00:09:52.370 --> 00:09:53.809 - I don't know, four eight is better than 276 00:09:53.809 --> 00:09:56.370 - GPT five five given, like, the vertical you're 277 00:09:56.370 --> 00:09:57.570 - in or the place you are. So maybe 278 00:09:57.570 --> 00:09:59.329 - that's the only thing you make available, or 279 00:09:59.329 --> 00:10:01.649 - you make the whole smorgasbord available. You put 280 00:10:01.649 --> 00:10:03.945 - folks in auto mode and hope they stick 281 00:10:03.945 --> 00:10:06.345 - to it. Like, it it's a weird kind 282 00:10:06.345 --> 00:10:08.184 - of dynamic to get out there, but it 283 00:10:08.184 --> 00:10:10.585 - is one of those things given, like, GitHub 284 00:10:10.585 --> 00:10:12.985 - Copilot pricing and how that's changed over time. 285 00:10:12.985 --> 00:10:14.504 - Like, you do have to think a little 286 00:10:14.504 --> 00:10:17.144 - bit about what are the models you expose 287 00:10:17.144 --> 00:10:18.665 - and what are the models that are gonna 288 00:10:18.665 --> 00:10:20.600 - work best for your use 289 00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:23.620 - cases and and your business. Right. So select 290 00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:25.940 - the model, first thing. The other thing you 291 00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:27.620 - can do I mean, I don't know why 292 00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:29.539 - you'd want this, Scott, unless you're just having 293 00:10:29.539 --> 00:10:31.779 - fun with it. We talked about this. This 294 00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:33.875 - doesn't seem super enterprising. 295 00:10:34.175 --> 00:10:35.554 - You can pick your personality 296 00:10:36.654 --> 00:10:40.035 - for how they respond. Default, helpful, and professional. 297 00:10:40.335 --> 00:10:42.835 - Okay. Enterprise makes sense. Enthusiastic 298 00:10:43.375 --> 00:10:46.274 - intern. So excited about everything. I mean, 299 00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:49.539 - maybe. But then the other one, and maybe 300 00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:51.779 - if you're just a child at heart or 301 00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:53.620 - you don't get enough of your teenagers that 302 00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:56.199 - are sarcastic, you can actually choose a sarcastic 303 00:10:56.259 --> 00:10:57.480 - teenager personality 304 00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:00.195 - where Scout will respond to you with eye 305 00:11:00.195 --> 00:11:02.934 - rolling and reluctantly helpful responses. 306 00:11:03.554 --> 00:11:05.554 - To me, that feels a little gimmicky.

There's also 390 00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:33.590 - overlap now between what Scout can do and 391 00:14:33.590 --> 00:14:36.445 - what GitHub Copilot can do. And because of 392 00:14:36.445 --> 00:14:37.745 - the licensing requirements, 393 00:14:38.125 --> 00:14:40.044 - in order to have Scout, I now have 394 00:14:40.044 --> 00:14:42.764 - those other two. Anyways, like, how do I 395 00:14:42.764 --> 00:14:43.904 - start rationalizing 396 00:14:44.845 --> 00:14:46.740 - if I'm gonna start a chat, do I 397 00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:49.139 - go into GitHub Copilot, and do I do 398 00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:50.419 - some of the chat there? Do I go 399 00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:52.679 - into Microsoft three sixty five and chat there? 400 00:14:52.820 --> 00:14:53.879 - Do I go into 401 00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:56.419 - Scout and chat? If I'm working with code, 402 00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:58.580 - do I wanna be in GitHub Copilot or 403 00:14:58.580 --> 00:14:59.460 - Scout? There's 404 00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:02.200 - in my mind now, there's 405 00:15:02.634 --> 00:15:04.894 - a lot of overlap. There are a few 406 00:15:05.434 --> 00:15:07.454 - unique aspects to all of these, 407 00:15:07.754 --> 00:15:09.214 - but it's just more 408 00:15:09.914 --> 00:15:10.975 - which copilot 409 00:15:11.514 --> 00:15:13.134 - do I use when, 410 00:15:13.595 --> 00:15:14.095 - and 411 00:15:14.554 --> 00:15:15.480 - how do I decide 412 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.519 - I think it's a hard one because every 413 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.179 - time you're chatting in Scout, you are consuming 414 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:21.899 - tokens 415 00:15:22.839 --> 00:15:25.480 - in GitHub Copilot. Yep. That's a weird decision 416 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.919 - right off the bat because if you're already 417 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.019 - licensed for m three sixty five Copilot 418 00:15:29.514 --> 00:15:31.514 - and you're using m three sixty five Copilot 419 00:15:31.514 --> 00:15:33.674 - under your existing licensing, maybe you're using things 420 00:15:33.674 --> 00:15:34.334 - like Cowork 421 00:15:34.794 --> 00:15:37.454 - successfully, and you've been able to do automations 422 00:15:37.674 --> 00:15:39.914 - and skills and things over there, maybe that's 423 00:15:39.914 --> 00:15:42.034 - enough for you. And you don't need Scout. 424 00:15:42.034 --> 00:15:45.240 - I think Scout bridges an interesting gap between 425 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:45.980 - all of 426 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:46.860 - those because 427 00:15:47.160 --> 00:15:49.559 - m three sixty five Copilot can't interact with 428 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.460 - your local desktop. So that's a big downside. 429 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.120 - That's a big one. M three sixty five 430 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.860 - Copilot also does not have MCP integration. 431 00:15:57.160 --> 00:15:59.320 - So if you're working with an MCP server, 432 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:00.700 - like in my case, maybe, 433 00:16:01.054 --> 00:16:02.575 - like, even if I wanna do something like 434 00:16:02.575 --> 00:16:06.174 - use, like, the Microsoft Learn remote MCP, I 435 00:16:06.174 --> 00:16:08.414 - can't do that from m three sixty five 436 00:16:08.414 --> 00:16:10.195 - Copilot. I have to go over to 437 00:16:10.654 --> 00:16:12.575 - something else that's out there. So I don't 438 00:16:12.575 --> 00:16:14.850 - think the trade off is the cognitive load 439 00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:16.370 - of when to use what. The trade off 440 00:16:16.370 --> 00:16:18.470 - is how much money do you have 441 00:16:19.009 --> 00:16:20.309 - and how many tokens 442 00:16:20.850 --> 00:16:23.350 - token credits do you have? Because the consolidated 443 00:16:23.570 --> 00:16:26.529 - experience of having both access to your work 444 00:16:26.529 --> 00:16:27.909 - data via WorkIQ, 445 00:16:28.325 --> 00:16:30.184 - things like that, plus 446 00:16:30.725 --> 00:16:34.164 - LLM access, plus local file system, MCP, skill 447 00:16:34.164 --> 00:16:34.664 - integrations, 448 00:16:35.284 --> 00:16:37.845 - and the Kron scheduler makes it a pretty 449 00:16:37.845 --> 00:16:39.764 - powerful thing, right, to be able to go 450 00:16:39.764 --> 00:16:41.284 - and do that. So if you did have 451 00:16:41.284 --> 00:16:42.644 - access to all of them, I would think 452 00:16:42.644 --> 00:16:44.930 - about things like, do I need this automation 453 00:16:44.930 --> 00:16:46.690 - to be scheduled? Yes or no? Well, if 454 00:16:46.690 --> 00:16:48.210 - I need it to be scheduled, I should 455 00:16:48.290 --> 00:16:49.649 - I'll I'll just go run that in in 456 00:16:49.649 --> 00:16:51.910 - Scout because I can set up that automation, 457 00:16:52.129 --> 00:16:53.889 - or I can have a heartbeat that runs 458 00:16:53.889 --> 00:16:54.629 - on a schedule, 459 00:16:55.730 --> 00:16:57.250 - have that come through kind of thing. Is 460 00:16:57.250 --> 00:16:59.215 - it an MCP integration? I can't do that 461 00:16:59.215 --> 00:17:01.215 - in m three sixty five Cobalt. Therefore, I'm 462 00:17:01.215 --> 00:17:02.115 - going to go 463 00:17:02.415 --> 00:17:05.535 - into this other tool to spin those things 464 00:17:05.535 --> 00:17:08.595 - up and get them going. So I found 465 00:17:08.894 --> 00:17:12.250 - Scout to be super helpful for like, in 466 00:17:12.250 --> 00:17:15.130 - my day to day, building HTML mock ups, 467 00:17:15.130 --> 00:17:16.109 - building reports, 468 00:17:16.970 --> 00:17:20.089 - having the m MCP integrations is really good. 469 00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:21.609 - Like, in my world, like, I do a 470 00:17:21.609 --> 00:17:23.789 - lot with Kusto and Kusto telemetry. 471 00:17:24.169 --> 00:17:26.829 - So having things like the fabric the Microsoft 472 00:17:26.890 --> 00:17:27.390 - fabric 473 00:17:27.755 --> 00:17:29.055 - MCP server there 474 00:17:29.515 --> 00:17:31.755 - help helps me a whole bunch, right, to 475 00:17:31.755 --> 00:17:33.695 - spin those things up and 476 00:17:34.075 --> 00:17:36.075 - and get them going. There are some trade 477 00:17:36.075 --> 00:17:39.855 - offs. So it's like they built in skills 478 00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:43.339 - for for, like you said, document creation. So 479 00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:45.420 - they've got, like, a DOCX skill, they've got 480 00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:46.640 - a PowerPoint skill, 481 00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:50.140 - things like that, but they're limited. So I 482 00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:51.500 - don't know if you've played around with any 483 00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.940 - of these. Like, I I went and created 484 00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:54.894 - I have not. I went in and I 485 00:17:54.894 --> 00:17:56.275 - was iterating on a document 486 00:17:56.654 --> 00:17:57.154 - with 487 00:17:57.615 --> 00:17:58.275 - with Scout. 488 00:17:58.734 --> 00:18:00.414 - And I don't know what it's using for 489 00:18:00.414 --> 00:18:01.535 - these skills in the back end. I didn't 490 00:18:01.535 --> 00:18:02.894 - go dig around on the file system or 491 00:18:02.894 --> 00:18:04.494 - anything like that. I imagine it's a bunch 492 00:18:04.494 --> 00:18:05.154 - of npm 493 00:18:05.535 --> 00:18:08.015 - kind of just pull in things and use 494 00:18:08.015 --> 00:18:10.190 - open source components, things like that. But, like, 495 00:18:10.190 --> 00:18:11.549 - I was working on a document with it, 496 00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:12.369 - so it generated 497 00:18:13.069 --> 00:18:15.549 - doc v one kind of thing over its 498 00:18:15.549 --> 00:18:17.630 - iteration over mine. I had the document closed 499 00:18:17.630 --> 00:18:19.390 - at the time, so I wasn't accessing it. 500 00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:20.750 - I went and opened up the doc, and 501 00:18:20.750 --> 00:18:21.950 - I had it open, and I said, well, 502 00:18:21.950 --> 00:18:23.654 - let's go make these changes. It couldn't make 503 00:18:23.654 --> 00:18:25.735 - those changes because I had the document open. 504 00:18:25.735 --> 00:18:27.095 - So because I had the document open and 505 00:18:27.095 --> 00:18:28.615 - it couldn't make the changes, guess what it 506 00:18:28.615 --> 00:18:30.375 - did? It created a new version, and it 507 00:18:30.375 --> 00:18:32.055 - said, hey. I've created a new document with 508 00:18:32.055 --> 00:18:33.494 - a new name. So I went and opened 509 00:18:33.494 --> 00:18:34.775 - that document up, and I was like, oh, 510 00:18:34.775 --> 00:18:36.215 - this is a fluke. Right? This can't be 511 00:18:36.215 --> 00:18:37.575 - the way this thing works. I said, okay. 512 00:18:37.575 --> 00:18:39.860 - Let's iterate on the new document. Sorry. Document's 513 00:18:39.860 --> 00:18:41.620 - locked. I can't get access to it. Blah 514 00:18:41.620 --> 00:18:43.700 - blah blah. And rinse, repeat, and go down. 515 00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:45.480 - So so there are some limitations 516 00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:48.820 - or things like that that come together, but 517 00:18:48.820 --> 00:18:49.960 - it's far easier 518 00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:52.980 - if you do the kind of cocreate slash 519 00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:54.200 - workspace experience 520 00:18:54.575 --> 00:18:55.934 - to put some of these things together. So 521 00:18:55.934 --> 00:18:56.975 - in my case, like, if I already had 522 00:18:56.975 --> 00:18:59.295 - a bunch of, let's say, CSVs that I 523 00:18:59.295 --> 00:19:01.214 - extracted from Kusto and I wanted to put 524 00:19:01.214 --> 00:19:02.115 - those into 525 00:19:02.414 --> 00:19:04.575 - a Word document or an HTML report, it'd 526 00:19:04.575 --> 00:19:05.934 - be really easy for me to dump all 527 00:19:05.934 --> 00:19:08.335 - those CSVs into a single directory, pull that 528 00:19:08.335 --> 00:19:10.809 - into a cocreate session, and and then say, 529 00:19:10.809 --> 00:19:12.970 - hey. Go build me this report one time 530 00:19:12.970 --> 00:19:14.670 - thing. You just gotta know that 531 00:19:15.049 --> 00:19:17.289 - iterating over it then becomes well, now I'm 532 00:19:17.289 --> 00:19:20.009 - using maybe, like, Copilot inside of Word or 533 00:19:20.009 --> 00:19:20.990 - inside of PowerPoint, 534 00:19:21.690 --> 00:19:24.644 - things like that once once they're out there 535 00:19:24.865 --> 00:19:25.365 - and 536 00:19:25.744 --> 00:19:27.525 - and ready to go. Yeah. In terms 537 00:19:27.904 --> 00:19:29.825 - of when I use this, one cost is 538 00:19:29.825 --> 00:19:32.305 - absolutely part of it. So I just ran 539 00:19:32.305 --> 00:19:35.025 - that sample query just so people have somewhat 540 00:19:35.025 --> 00:19:36.704 - of an idea. The what can you do? 541 00:19:36.704 --> 00:19:38.164 - Show me your tools and capabilities. 542 00:19:38.545 --> 00:19:41.070 - Just one question, I don't know, like 10 543 00:19:41.070 --> 00:19:43.090 - words. Here's those responses. 544 00:19:43.549 --> 00:19:47.150 - And my AI usage in GitHub updates fairly 545 00:19:47.150 --> 00:19:49.330 - real time. That single question 546 00:19:50.109 --> 00:19:51.970 - cost me 16¢ 547 00:19:52.474 --> 00:19:55.134 - in GitHub Copilot. So you can imagine 548 00:19:55.515 --> 00:19:57.275 - as you would iterate on code and go 549 00:19:57.275 --> 00:20:00.015 - through tokens, this is not a complex 550 00:20:00.315 --> 00:20:03.215 - task by any means. It is very easy 551 00:20:03.355 --> 00:20:04.494 - to burn through 552 00:20:05.275 --> 00:20:05.775 - dollars 553 00:20:06.230 --> 00:20:07.049 - in a hurry. 554 00:20:07.509 --> 00:20:09.509 - You and I did some tests. That's where 555 00:20:09.509 --> 00:20:11.029 - you have to be mindful of the model 556 00:20:11.029 --> 00:20:12.869 - you use. Yep. You do have to do 557 00:20:12.869 --> 00:20:13.369 - things, 558 00:20:13.990 --> 00:20:16.089 - and I found this to be helpful. So, 559 00:20:16.150 --> 00:20:19.464 - unfortunately, Scout doesn't expose it. But thinking about 560 00:20:19.464 --> 00:20:21.944 - things like your context window and context rot, 561 00:20:21.944 --> 00:20:24.204 - just like you would inside of GitHub Copilot 562 00:20:24.265 --> 00:20:27.304 - chat, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cloud Code, all these 563 00:20:27.304 --> 00:20:29.464 - things. So every time you're starting a new 564 00:20:29.464 --> 00:20:30.845 - chat, it's a new session. 565 00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:33.059 - So you can do things like have a 566 00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:35.380 - long running session. Eventually, you have to compact 567 00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:36.660 - those sessions or say 568 00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.900 - if you tell it, you say, hey. Save 569 00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:40.339 - my session so I can go pick it 570 00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.660 - up in a new chat. It'll actually create 571 00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:44.579 - a session dot MD or a plan MD, 572 00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:46.845 - and it'll give you the full file path 573 00:20:46.845 --> 00:20:48.605 - to it. And then you can go and 574 00:20:48.605 --> 00:20:50.445 - pull that up and say, hey. Go reload 575 00:20:50.445 --> 00:20:52.525 - this context and push me into a new 576 00:20:52.525 --> 00:20:53.025 - chat, 577 00:20:53.484 --> 00:20:55.664 - say things like that along the way. So 578 00:20:55.884 --> 00:20:57.484 - it's a little weird. Like, you do have 579 00:20:57.484 --> 00:20:59.580 - to be kinda mindful of where it's at 580 00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:01.660 - and what it's doing, and is it giving 581 00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:03.580 - me, like, the the right set of things 582 00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:05.340 - that are out there. There's also some things 583 00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:07.420 - that aren't in your control. So if you 584 00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:10.220 - go into Scout and you try and add 585 00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:13.724 - the WorkIQ MCP server, you can't because it 586 00:21:13.724 --> 00:21:16.605 - says the work m the WorkIQ MCP server 587 00:21:16.605 --> 00:21:19.085 - is already built in. But when you go 588 00:21:19.085 --> 00:21:21.404 - and ask a question in Scout, you say, 589 00:21:21.404 --> 00:21:21.904 - go 590 00:21:22.444 --> 00:21:22.944 - go 591 00:21:23.884 --> 00:21:25.884 - grab my three latest chats from my direct 592 00:21:25.884 --> 00:21:28.180 - reports kinda thing, you'll see that it actually 593 00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:31.240 - fires off PowerShell commands. So it's running WorkIQ 594 00:21:31.620 --> 00:21:33.460 - from the command line, I think, to try 595 00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:35.860 - and reduce token usage, like, in in ins 596 00:21:35.860 --> 00:21:37.779 - and outs and and things like that. So 597 00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:39.059 - that's a pattern you see in a lot 598 00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:41.934 - of products today where they're leveraging LLMs, but 599 00:21:41.934 --> 00:21:44.734 - the LLMs are calling into CLIs. So you 600 00:21:44.734 --> 00:21:46.434 - just kinda see that in action 601 00:21:46.894 --> 00:21:48.434 - over in things like Scout 602 00:21:48.815 --> 00:21:50.654 - as you're running it and getting it up 603 00:21:50.654 --> 00:21:51.315 - and going. 604 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.779 - If you're managing file storage today, you've probably 605 00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:58.480 - felt the pressure. Refresh cycles are harder to 606 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.920 - plan, costs and complexity are increasing, especially as 607 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.019 - file workloads scale across regions. 608 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.680 - That's why Microsoft customers trust Nasuni. As an 609 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:09.275 - Azure certified software, 610 00:22:09.734 --> 00:22:12.695 - Nasuni provides a global file system designed for 611 00:22:12.695 --> 00:22:13.994 - enterprise scale environments, 612 00:22:14.375 --> 00:22:17.894 - keeping file data secure, governed, and accessible across 613 00:22:17.894 --> 00:22:20.154 - Azure environments without added infrastructure 614 00:22:20.455 --> 00:22:20.955 - complexity. 615 00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:24.460 - It's the foundation to keep your unstructured data 616 00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:26.400 - stable even as your infrastructure 617 00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:28.940 - evolves. To see how much you could save 618 00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:35.420 - while keeping your initiatives on track, visit nasuni.com/tco. 619 00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:40.065 - That's nasuni.com/tco. 620 00:22:41.164 --> 00:22:43.105 - It's interesting. I would compare 621 00:22:44.285 --> 00:22:44.785 - Scout. 622 00:22:45.325 --> 00:22:47.164 - I would say the times I would go 623 00:22:47.164 --> 00:22:50.384 - into Scout would be if I'm in Wodland. 624 00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:52.920 - It would be the times I would normally 625 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.420 - go in and do something in Claude 626 00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:56.299 - Cowork. 627 00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.539 - That's how I would compare Scout. 628 00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:01.339 - Scout is actually what I wish 629 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:04.759 - when Microsoft announced Microsoft or Microsoft three sixty 630 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:07.044 - five Copilot co work, I don't know what 631 00:23:07.044 --> 00:23:09.284 - the official name is. When they announced that 632 00:23:09.284 --> 00:23:11.204 - co work, I was hoping it was gonna 633 00:23:11.204 --> 00:23:13.845 - be more something more like what Scout is. 634 00:23:13.845 --> 00:23:16.005 - I feel like Scout is a little bit 635 00:23:16.005 --> 00:23:19.524 - more comparable to Cloud or to Claude co 636 00:23:19.524 --> 00:23:22.329 - work than Microsoft three sixty five Copilot Cowork 637 00:23:22.329 --> 00:23:24.809 - is to Claude Cowork just in terms of 638 00:23:24.809 --> 00:23:27.609 - that functionality because I use Claude for a 639 00:23:27.609 --> 00:23:29.289 - lot of the things that I would use 640 00:23:29.289 --> 00:23:31.609 - Scout for, going in and pulling stuff out 641 00:23:31.609 --> 00:23:34.170 - of the browser, interacting with browser sessions, interacting 642 00:23:34.170 --> 00:23:35.230 - with local files, 643 00:23:35.585 --> 00:23:37.664 - all of that type of stuff. So that 644 00:23:37.664 --> 00:23:39.664 - was the chat. You talked a little bit 645 00:23:39.664 --> 00:23:40.164 - about 646 00:23:40.704 --> 00:23:41.684 - that cocreate 647 00:23:42.785 --> 00:23:44.545 - experience as well where you can go set 648 00:23:44.545 --> 00:23:45.285 - up a workspace, 649 00:23:45.984 --> 00:23:46.805 - working on 650 00:23:47.265 --> 00:23:47.765 - files, 651 00:23:48.065 --> 00:23:49.765 - exporting to DocX, 652 00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:53.240 - creating Markdown, all of that. But you also 653 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.700 - have in here this 654 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:55.660 - automations 655 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.019 - that you can create within Scout, where 656 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:01.640 - now you can go in and create the 657 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.839 - way Microsoft describes it, these automated multi step 658 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:05.339 - tasks 659 00:24:05.934 --> 00:24:08.414 - that run on a schedule. Cron job type 660 00:24:08.414 --> 00:24:10.894 - of things where it could be something like 661 00:24:10.894 --> 00:24:13.214 - the example Microsoft gives. You go in, you 662 00:24:13.214 --> 00:24:14.195 - create this automation, 663 00:24:14.575 --> 00:24:16.255 - give it a name of, I want a 664 00:24:16.255 --> 00:24:17.154 - morning briefing, 665 00:24:17.535 --> 00:24:18.355 - brief description. 666 00:24:18.974 --> 00:24:20.275 - This you can pick 667 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.359 - from those models that are enabled which model 668 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.000 - you want this automation to use. So if 669 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.740 - you have certain automations that maybe 670 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.900 - through prompts already, 671 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.519 - you've determined when I'm asking about a morning 672 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.205 - briefing that works better with GPT, but when 673 00:24:36.205 --> 00:24:39.244 - I'm asking about looking at code that works 674 00:24:39.244 --> 00:24:40.305 - better with Claude, 675 00:24:40.605 --> 00:24:41.505 - you can pick 676 00:24:41.965 --> 00:24:45.184 - what model this a particular automation uses 677 00:24:45.565 --> 00:24:47.244 - and then set it to run on some 678 00:24:47.244 --> 00:24:48.225 - type of schedule, 679 00:24:48.605 --> 00:24:49.105 - weekdays 680 00:24:49.490 --> 00:24:50.390 - at 9AM, 681 00:24:50.609 --> 00:24:51.109 - weekends, 682 00:24:51.490 --> 00:24:53.410 - end of the day, or you can set 683 00:24:53.410 --> 00:24:55.910 - this based on certain conditions 684 00:24:56.529 --> 00:24:59.250 - and then run a check where every so 685 00:24:59.250 --> 00:25:02.130 - often, I wanna check for this condition. I 686 00:25:02.130 --> 00:25:04.095 - wanna check for this pull request 687 00:25:04.954 --> 00:25:06.575 - in GitHub or a certain repo. 688 00:25:06.875 --> 00:25:08.954 - And then just go in and set, here's 689 00:25:08.954 --> 00:25:11.115 - all the steps. Here's the different prompts I 690 00:25:11.115 --> 00:25:13.355 - wanna run as part of this automation. Here's 691 00:25:13.355 --> 00:25:14.875 - what Scout should do in each one of 692 00:25:14.875 --> 00:25:15.615 - these steps. 693 00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:17.710 - Is it gonna interact with the browser? You 694 00:25:17.710 --> 00:25:20.769 - can actually run it with a brow headless 695 00:25:21.069 --> 00:25:21.569 - browser, 696 00:25:21.869 --> 00:25:24.029 - which I would this is one advantage to 697 00:25:24.029 --> 00:25:27.309 - me over Claude is Claude has to it 698 00:25:27.309 --> 00:25:29.355 - pops open the browser. Like, I'll go in 699 00:25:29.355 --> 00:25:30.515 - and look at my browser, and all of 700 00:25:30.515 --> 00:25:32.075 - a sudden I have a new group of 701 00:25:32.075 --> 00:25:34.394 - tabs open from Claude because it went and 702 00:25:34.394 --> 00:25:37.035 - opened the browser and it added tabs to 703 00:25:37.035 --> 00:25:39.355 - my browser session. But going in and then 704 00:25:39.355 --> 00:25:40.954 - doing things with the browser and running it 705 00:25:40.954 --> 00:25:42.409 - headless if you want to. And then you 706 00:25:42.409 --> 00:25:44.429 - can go create this automation to now 707 00:25:44.730 --> 00:25:47.390 - run based on some trigger or some condition 708 00:25:47.769 --> 00:25:50.349 - to perform a certain set of steps, which 709 00:25:50.409 --> 00:25:51.769 - this is something I haven't played with. I 710 00:25:51.769 --> 00:25:53.289 - don't know if you've set up any automations 711 00:25:53.289 --> 00:25:55.929 - yet. I've done a couple. So I'll give 712 00:25:55.929 --> 00:25:57.549 - you some examples 713 00:25:58.944 --> 00:26:01.264 - of what I do. So I have my 714 00:26:01.264 --> 00:26:01.764 - heartbeat. 715 00:26:02.065 --> 00:26:03.845 - So my heartbeat is 716 00:26:04.464 --> 00:26:06.724 - go check my team's messages 717 00:26:07.345 --> 00:26:10.200 - and my inbox for anything urgent from, like, 718 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.319 - my team, direct reports, things like that. So 719 00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:15.579 - my heartbeat runs every thirty minutes 720 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.440 - during my work hours. So I you get 721 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:20.399 - to set that up in your heartbeat. You 722 00:26:20.399 --> 00:26:22.119 - you can think of your heartbeat as, like, 723 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.919 - the ongoing persistent automation that you want to 724 00:26:24.919 --> 00:26:27.085 - run. The issue that I ran into with 725 00:26:27.085 --> 00:26:30.065 - heartbeats initially was the formatting of heartbeats. 726 00:26:30.365 --> 00:26:31.964 - Like, you can go, hey. Tell it do 727 00:26:31.964 --> 00:26:33.325 - this, and then it would always come back 728 00:26:33.325 --> 00:26:34.924 - with, like, its own table and its own 729 00:26:34.924 --> 00:26:35.744 - different format. 730 00:26:36.045 --> 00:26:37.884 - But because when you're putting these things in, 731 00:26:37.884 --> 00:26:40.130 - you're effectively, like, expressing markdown to the LLM 732 00:26:40.130 --> 00:26:42.609 - and LLMs love markdown, you can actually give 733 00:26:42.609 --> 00:26:45.410 - it, like, tabular formats. So, hey. I want 734 00:26:45.410 --> 00:26:46.849 - it to be formatted this way when it 735 00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:49.169 - comes back to me. I have these rules 736 00:26:49.169 --> 00:26:51.410 - for it. So tell me if the heartbeat 737 00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:53.674 - worked, if it was urgent, if you encountered 738 00:26:53.734 --> 00:26:56.075 - an air, maybe, like, a throttle and work 739 00:26:56.535 --> 00:26:57.035 - IQ, 740 00:26:57.494 --> 00:26:59.654 - things like that, and couldn't get to it. 741 00:26:59.654 --> 00:27:02.474 - So that's my heartbeat. And then my automations, 742 00:27:02.775 --> 00:27:04.950 - I've got a couple different ones that run. 743 00:27:05.029 --> 00:27:06.549 - The most valuable ones to me are probably 744 00:27:06.549 --> 00:27:08.470 - the ones that, like, crawl the web. And 745 00:27:08.470 --> 00:27:10.630 - and so I have one that's, hey. Give 746 00:27:10.630 --> 00:27:13.669 - me the latest tech news from, like, the 747 00:27:13.669 --> 00:27:15.690 - top ad creators, like TechMeme, 748 00:27:16.309 --> 00:27:16.889 - Y Combinator, 749 00:27:17.589 --> 00:27:20.585 - Hacker News, Reddit, things like that. And it 750 00:27:20.585 --> 00:27:21.785 - does a pretty good job of giving me, 751 00:27:21.785 --> 00:27:23.545 - like, hey. Here's, like, the top five things 752 00:27:23.545 --> 00:27:25.144 - going on in the news today. It's kinda 753 00:27:25.144 --> 00:27:27.144 - like my own, like, little personal newsletter without 754 00:27:27.144 --> 00:27:28.525 - having to sign up for TLDR 755 00:27:29.144 --> 00:27:31.224 - or things like that. And then I also 756 00:27:31.224 --> 00:27:34.390 - have one that does industry specific news. So 757 00:27:34.390 --> 00:27:36.150 - for, like, me, I work in object storage 758 00:27:36.150 --> 00:27:38.309 - land. So I get, like, a daily briefing 759 00:27:38.309 --> 00:27:41.029 - of here's what's going on in Alibaba Cloud. 760 00:27:41.029 --> 00:27:43.109 - Here's what's going on in Amazon s three. 761 00:27:43.109 --> 00:27:44.569 - Here's what's going on in 762 00:27:44.869 --> 00:27:47.029 - Google land. And that comes back in, like, 763 00:27:47.029 --> 00:27:49.210 - a nice tabular format for me 764 00:27:50.355 --> 00:27:52.914 - every every kind every every morning. I've played 765 00:27:52.914 --> 00:27:54.994 - around with things, like create a daily brief, 766 00:27:54.994 --> 00:27:56.994 - wrap up my day. We were talking about 767 00:27:56.994 --> 00:27:59.075 - this a little bit, LLM Wikis. I tend 768 00:27:59.075 --> 00:28:00.914 - to be over in LLM Wiki Land for 769 00:28:00.914 --> 00:28:03.299 - that stuff now because I've got skills that 770 00:28:03.299 --> 00:28:05.539 - I've created that or that I've kinda taken 771 00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:07.059 - from others in massage, right, to put them 772 00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:08.579 - where where I need to be. But I've 773 00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:10.500 - got, like, skills and agents that run-in there 774 00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:12.519 - that are very specific to my workflows. 775 00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:15.460 - I would love to bring them in to 776 00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:17.724 - Scout as a harness or something that I 777 00:28:17.724 --> 00:28:18.865 - could use as a scheduler, 778 00:28:19.325 --> 00:28:20.684 - but I haven't found a way to do 779 00:28:20.684 --> 00:28:21.184 - that. 780 00:28:21.484 --> 00:28:23.345 - Scout can, like, import skills, 781 00:28:23.804 --> 00:28:25.964 - but it's got like, I can't point it 782 00:28:25.964 --> 00:28:27.565 - just, like, in the agent.md 783 00:28:27.565 --> 00:28:29.565 - and say, okay. Go run with this thing 784 00:28:29.565 --> 00:28:31.210 - and and do what you need to do 785 00:28:31.210 --> 00:28:33.289 - with it. It hasn't quite figured out that 786 00:28:33.289 --> 00:28:35.529 - or have that level of maturity. Maybe someday, 787 00:28:35.529 --> 00:28:37.210 - like, Code Creek gets there. I think that 788 00:28:37.210 --> 00:28:39.609 - would be, like, my ideal space is give 789 00:28:39.609 --> 00:28:42.490 - me something that does MCPs, does skills, brings 790 00:28:42.490 --> 00:28:44.664 - it all in, brings it together, but then 791 00:28:44.724 --> 00:28:47.284 - uses, like, formats like agents.md 792 00:28:47.284 --> 00:28:48.884 - or things like that. So I can then 793 00:28:48.884 --> 00:28:51.765 - wrap those skills inside an agent, and then 794 00:28:51.765 --> 00:28:52.585 - I can use 795 00:28:52.884 --> 00:28:55.144 - Scout as a harness or a scheduler. 796 00:28:55.525 --> 00:28:57.284 - So it's not me going into the morning 797 00:28:57.284 --> 00:29:00.589 - into GitHub Copilot CLI or into Versus Code 798 00:29:00.589 --> 00:29:03.069 - chat and saying, hey. Create my daily brief. 799 00:29:03.069 --> 00:29:04.750 - I could just say, create my daily brief. 800 00:29:04.750 --> 00:29:06.909 - Creates my daily brief, generates that markdown file, 801 00:29:06.909 --> 00:29:09.169 - and it's there for me on a schedule. 802 00:29:09.470 --> 00:29:12.035 - Or wrap up my day, and it automatically 803 00:29:12.255 --> 00:29:14.255 - wraps up my day. Go I've got, like, 804 00:29:14.255 --> 00:29:16.674 - a skill that, like, hey. Go out and 805 00:29:16.815 --> 00:29:19.215 - grab the meetings that I grab all my 806 00:29:19.215 --> 00:29:21.055 - meetings from my calendar for the ones that 807 00:29:21.055 --> 00:29:21.715 - I attended, 808 00:29:22.095 --> 00:29:24.575 - grab the transcripts, make sure you capture action 809 00:29:24.575 --> 00:29:26.690 - items, bring that stuff forward. Like, I would 810 00:29:26.690 --> 00:29:28.130 - just love to have that stuff run on 811 00:29:28.130 --> 00:29:28.710 - a schedule, 812 00:29:29.009 --> 00:29:30.369 - but I haven't quite figured out how to 813 00:29:30.369 --> 00:29:31.589 - get it over into 814 00:29:31.890 --> 00:29:33.890 - scout land yet. So that's my next thing 815 00:29:33.890 --> 00:29:35.809 - is I wanna figure out, like, can I 816 00:29:35.809 --> 00:29:38.450 - translate some of those LLM work LLM Wiki 817 00:29:38.450 --> 00:29:39.269 - kinda workflows, 818 00:29:39.845 --> 00:29:41.924 - bring those over, and get them to where 819 00:29:41.924 --> 00:29:42.964 - they need to be because you do have 820 00:29:42.964 --> 00:29:43.464 - this 821 00:29:43.765 --> 00:29:46.644 - harness and scheduler that sits there? Albeit with 822 00:29:46.644 --> 00:29:48.964 - one really big caveat, the application needs to 823 00:29:48.964 --> 00:29:49.625 - be open 824 00:29:49.924 --> 00:29:51.445 - to to be able to do this. So 825 00:29:51.445 --> 00:29:53.700 - if you close the application, your heartbeat no 826 00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:56.019 - longer runs. Your automations no longer run anything 827 00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:57.220 - like that. So I don't know if they 828 00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:58.759 - turn that into a Windows service 829 00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:01.460 - or something like that someday. Or if your 830 00:30:01.460 --> 00:30:04.259 - computer goes to sleep. It's interesting too when 831 00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:06.355 - you're looking at heartbeats that's here if you 832 00:30:06.355 --> 00:30:08.755 - wanna do sleep prevention settings. They're in settings 833 00:30:08.755 --> 00:30:11.554 - and power management, and you can actually go 834 00:30:11.554 --> 00:30:12.054 - into 835 00:30:13.154 --> 00:30:15.414 - the settings in Scout 836 00:30:15.714 --> 00:30:18.194 - and say prevent sleep. So if you have 837 00:30:18.194 --> 00:30:21.169 - those always on features like the heartbeat active, 838 00:30:21.390 --> 00:30:24.029 - just don't ever sleep your computer, which, I 839 00:30:24.029 --> 00:30:25.710 - mean, in theory, this adds another cost too. 840 00:30:25.710 --> 00:30:27.730 - Now your computer is running twenty four seven, 841 00:30:27.789 --> 00:30:30.429 - consuming electricity, generating heat in my office, and 842 00:30:30.429 --> 00:30:32.444 - causing my AC to run more. But 843 00:30:33.404 --> 00:30:35.244 - that's another aspect to it. App has to 844 00:30:35.244 --> 00:30:37.724 - be open. Computer has to be running, not 845 00:30:37.724 --> 00:30:40.204 - sleeping. Although, as you can set your sessions 846 00:30:40.204 --> 00:30:42.044 - and memories to be stored in OneDrive, so 847 00:30:42.044 --> 00:30:44.204 - all your chat sessions and memories do get 848 00:30:44.204 --> 00:30:46.605 - saved into OneDrive by default as well. So 849 00:30:46.605 --> 00:30:49.369 - those would sync across your devices. So I 850 00:30:49.369 --> 00:30:50.589 - think this is another 851 00:30:51.130 --> 00:30:53.609 - I would say another nicety of Scout is 852 00:30:53.609 --> 00:30:57.549 - it does have that ability to keep these 853 00:30:57.930 --> 00:31:00.475 - keep your sessions, your memories in sync leveraging 854 00:31:01.095 --> 00:31:02.535 - OneDrive. So it writes into a couple of 855 00:31:02.535 --> 00:31:03.975 - different places. Maybe we should talk about this 856 00:31:03.975 --> 00:31:04.715 - too. So 857 00:31:05.174 --> 00:31:07.654 - you do get, by default, a Scratchpad, and 858 00:31:07.654 --> 00:31:10.295 - your Scratchpad exists inside your OneDrive. So you 859 00:31:10.295 --> 00:31:12.215 - have a well, what do they call the 860 00:31:12.215 --> 00:31:13.815 - directory for you? Because I'm on a weird 861 00:31:13.815 --> 00:31:14.875 - internal build, so 862 00:31:15.470 --> 00:31:17.070 - something different for me. Let me think. Where 863 00:31:17.070 --> 00:31:19.390 - no Scratchpad was over here, does it tell 864 00:31:19.390 --> 00:31:21.150 - me right here? If you mouse over it, 865 00:31:21.150 --> 00:31:23.070 - I think it gives you the directory or 866 00:31:23.070 --> 00:31:24.990 - something like that. But No. It does not. 867 00:31:24.990 --> 00:31:26.829 - So if you own your OneDrive, it should 868 00:31:26.829 --> 00:31:28.750 - be like a root folder in your OneDrive. 869 00:31:28.750 --> 00:31:30.029 - I just don't know if they called it 870 00:31:30.029 --> 00:31:31.009 - Scout or 871 00:31:31.525 --> 00:31:33.525 - things like that. So I don't know either. 872 00:31:33.525 --> 00:31:35.704 - Copilot. Here's Copilot. Copilot. 873 00:31:36.325 --> 00:31:37.924 - Let's go see if I have a Scout 874 00:31:37.924 --> 00:31:41.125 - one. Scout or Microsoft Scout? Do not have 875 00:31:41.125 --> 00:31:44.904 - Scout. Do I have Microsoft Copilot? Microsoft Teams? 876 00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:47.220 - I don't see it there either. Maybe you 877 00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:49.299 - know what? I don't have any sessions. Do 878 00:31:49.299 --> 00:31:50.279 - I need to go 879 00:31:50.820 --> 00:31:52.200 - new chat? Create 880 00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:54.039 - a presentation 881 00:31:54.580 --> 00:31:55.080 - about 882 00:31:55.539 --> 00:31:58.500 - Microsoft Scout. There goes all my GitHub credits, 883 00:31:58.500 --> 00:32:00.464 - Scott. We went through 16¢. 884 00:32:01.265 --> 00:32:03.684 - This is $5 to create a presentation. 885 00:32:04.224 --> 00:32:06.544 - I'll just see where it goes. Maybe we'll 886 00:32:06.544 --> 00:32:07.744 - have to go find it might be in 887 00:32:07.744 --> 00:32:10.065 - the documentation somewhere too. Maybe we should read 888 00:32:10.065 --> 00:32:11.744 - that. There's a couple different things that happen 889 00:32:11.744 --> 00:32:14.289 - here, and there's a little bit of AI 890 00:32:14.349 --> 00:32:14.849 - fatigue 891 00:32:15.390 --> 00:32:17.390 - that comes along the way. So much like 892 00:32:17.390 --> 00:32:19.470 - picking up any other new tool, let's say 893 00:32:19.470 --> 00:32:22.369 - you go from cloud code to GitHub Copilot 894 00:32:22.430 --> 00:32:24.529 - CLI or over to codex, things like that, 895 00:32:24.589 --> 00:32:27.054 - you have to migrate sometimes your skills, your 896 00:32:27.054 --> 00:32:28.115 - MCP integration 897 00:32:28.734 --> 00:32:31.134 - or configurations, all those kinds of things. So 898 00:32:31.134 --> 00:32:33.774 - there's no like, Scout and its skills, they 899 00:32:33.774 --> 00:32:35.394 - get stored in your user directory 900 00:32:35.774 --> 00:32:37.394 - in a in a subdirectory 901 00:32:37.694 --> 00:32:39.794 - called, like, m underscore skills, 902 00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:43.319 - and they'll sit alongside your other marketplace installed 903 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.480 - skills that maybe you've installed for, like, Cloud 904 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.259 - Code or GitHub Copilot, 905 00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:49.179 - things like that 906 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:50.919 - along the way. So there you go. Now 907 00:32:50.919 --> 00:32:52.599 - you got a Microsoft Scout directory. So it's 908 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.140 - in documents. It's in OneDrive 909 00:32:54.525 --> 00:32:56.205 - documents in Microsoft Scout, not at the root 910 00:32:56.205 --> 00:32:57.565 - of OneDrive. So if you go in there, 911 00:32:57.565 --> 00:32:59.184 - you'll have sessions and Scratchpad. 912 00:32:59.724 --> 00:33:01.265 - The cool thing with CoCreate 913 00:33:01.724 --> 00:33:02.224 - is 914 00:33:03.005 --> 00:33:03.744 - you can 915 00:33:04.285 --> 00:33:06.945 - create because it's running locally on your desktop, 916 00:33:07.005 --> 00:33:08.605 - you're not limited to just stuff in your 917 00:33:08.605 --> 00:33:11.500 - OneDrive. So I think that's another advantage thing. 918 00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:13.400 - Let's say you were working on, like, a 919 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:15.079 - Git repo and you pulled it down and 920 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.099 - it was in, like, c colon 921 00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.039 - GitHub kinda thing, you could go pull that 922 00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.440 - into a co create session and Scout would 923 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.855 - be able to interact with it. You're not 924 00:33:24.855 --> 00:33:26.855 - limited like you are in, like, co work 925 00:33:26.855 --> 00:33:29.654 - to just your OneDrive and things like that. 926 00:33:29.654 --> 00:33:30.154 - Yeah. 927 00:33:31.894 --> 00:33:34.775 - You're out of time. Copilot needs to be 928 00:33:34.775 --> 00:33:37.815 - deployed ASAP, but is your tenant really ready 929 00:33:37.815 --> 00:33:41.100 - for it? Years of data, permissions, and users 930 00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:43.820 - lurk in its shadows, ready to be exposed 931 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:44.619 - by AI. 932 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.799 - Sharegate Protect sees it all, so you can 933 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.759 - find the exposure risks, fix them fast, and 934 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.565 - deploy AI with confidence. 935 00:33:52.944 --> 00:33:53.444 - Microsoft 936 00:33:53.744 --> 00:33:55.204 - three sixty five governance. 937 00:33:55.505 --> 00:34:01.204 - We got this. Learn more at sharegate.com/governance. 938 00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:05.960 - I'm giving it all kinds of permissions. It's 939 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.460 - running scripts and installing stuff on my computer 940 00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:10.760 - and You're in, like, NPM land now, dude. 941 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:12.839 - It's pulling in all the things to create 942 00:34:12.839 --> 00:34:14.059 - a PowerPoint presentation 943 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.599 - and get it going. So, eventually, you'll get 944 00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:17.099 - that. 945 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:19.744 - It'll show up here eventually 946 00:34:20.045 --> 00:34:22.224 - at some point in time. Anything else 947 00:34:23.085 --> 00:34:25.824 - we wanna talk about, Scout? We talked about 948 00:34:26.605 --> 00:34:28.464 - kinda heartbeats and automations. 949 00:34:29.085 --> 00:34:30.304 - We should talk through maybe 950 00:34:30.764 --> 00:34:32.545 - extensions real quick. So 951 00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:33.779 - I mentioned 952 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.059 - that you've got both MCP servers 953 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.319 - and skills available to you. So you can 954 00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:41.940 - go in, add MCPs 955 00:34:42.319 --> 00:34:44.339 - just like you would add any other MCP 956 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.799 - server. Is it remote, local? They give it 957 00:34:46.799 --> 00:34:48.099 - a name, things like that. 958 00:34:48.454 --> 00:34:50.614 - When I was doing mine, because I had 959 00:34:50.614 --> 00:34:52.635 - already migrated a bunch of MCPs 960 00:34:53.014 --> 00:34:54.795 - from GitHub Copilot 961 00:34:55.335 --> 00:34:58.795 - chat to GitHub Copilot CLI because the formatting 962 00:34:58.855 --> 00:35:01.195 - is different for the string formatting's 963 00:35:01.494 --> 00:35:03.329 - different for the JSON. I was able to 964 00:35:03.329 --> 00:35:05.010 - actually just pull over my j like, I 965 00:35:05.010 --> 00:35:07.090 - created one MCP server. I found out where 966 00:35:07.090 --> 00:35:09.090 - the configuration sits on my hard drive for 967 00:35:09.090 --> 00:35:11.890 - Scout, and then I just kinda copy past 968 00:35:11.890 --> 00:35:14.369 - my actual, like, JSON over, and that lit 969 00:35:14.369 --> 00:35:16.470 - up Scout and worked pretty good. 970 00:35:17.005 --> 00:35:18.144 - Skills are interesting 971 00:35:18.525 --> 00:35:20.125 - because when you go to add a new 972 00:35:20.125 --> 00:35:23.505 - skill, it kinda directs you into the single 973 00:35:23.565 --> 00:35:25.344 - markdown file skill world 974 00:35:25.644 --> 00:35:27.804 - where you give it a description, you give 975 00:35:27.804 --> 00:35:29.744 - it a name, and you put your instructions 976 00:35:29.804 --> 00:35:32.730 - in there. You can also import skills from 977 00:35:32.730 --> 00:35:35.849 - GitHub. So if or from from a skills 978 00:35:35.849 --> 00:35:38.489 - marketplace. From an MD. Okay. But not just 979 00:35:38.489 --> 00:35:39.929 - in it, not just a single MD. If 980 00:35:39.929 --> 00:35:42.170 - you're importing from a plug in marketplace, let's 981 00:35:42.170 --> 00:35:44.010 - say you have a skill that has a 982 00:35:44.010 --> 00:35:44.510 - subdirectory 983 00:35:44.809 --> 00:35:45.550 - for references 984 00:35:45.929 --> 00:35:48.684 - or design MDs, things like that, it'll import 985 00:35:48.684 --> 00:35:50.125 - all that stuff too and pull it over. 986 00:35:50.125 --> 00:35:52.844 - So it's not just single markdown skills, which 987 00:35:52.844 --> 00:35:55.005 - I think is another benefit over m three 988 00:35:55.005 --> 00:35:57.005 - sixty five co work because m three sixty 989 00:35:57.005 --> 00:35:58.605 - five co work is still very much like 990 00:35:58.605 --> 00:36:01.244 - files in my OneDrive or SharePoint, single markdown 991 00:36:01.244 --> 00:36:01.744 - skill, 992 00:36:02.210 --> 00:36:05.510 - not a collection of artifacts, could be scripts, 993 00:36:05.569 --> 00:36:06.069 - references, 994 00:36:07.409 --> 00:36:09.889 - anything like that's going to come along the 995 00:36:09.889 --> 00:36:11.489 - way there. And then once you have these 996 00:36:11.489 --> 00:36:14.210 - skills and MCP is integrated, you do the 997 00:36:14.210 --> 00:36:15.730 - same thing you do in other tools where 998 00:36:15.730 --> 00:36:17.565 - you can turn them on, turn them off. 999 00:36:18.045 --> 00:36:20.284 - So if you're trying to prevent context rot, 1000 00:36:20.284 --> 00:36:22.125 - k, I'm not gonna fire up a bunch 1001 00:36:22.125 --> 00:36:22.784 - of skills 1002 00:36:23.324 --> 00:36:25.405 - in this given session, things like that. You 1003 00:36:25.405 --> 00:36:27.105 - do have the ability to go and 1004 00:36:27.405 --> 00:36:28.625 - and play with those 1005 00:36:29.005 --> 00:36:29.820 - a little bit. 1006 00:36:30.219 --> 00:36:31.660 - Maybe one last thing we should talk about. 1007 00:36:31.660 --> 00:36:34.219 - Mentioned WorkIQ and that integration and how it 1008 00:36:34.219 --> 00:36:36.400 - kinda shells out to PowerShell, things like that. 1009 00:36:36.699 --> 00:36:37.980 - We were going back and forth on a 1010 00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:41.019 - thread with somebody else about WorkIQ pricing, which 1011 00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:42.219 - was, like, all new to me. I was 1012 00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:44.239 - like, what did they do here? And APIs 1013 00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:45.199 - for WorkIQ. 1014 00:36:45.764 --> 00:36:48.244 - So that's another consideration for you here as 1015 00:36:48.244 --> 00:36:49.844 - well. If you are deploying this, it's not 1016 00:36:49.844 --> 00:36:51.924 - just your m three sixty five Copilot license. 1017 00:36:51.924 --> 00:36:54.244 - It's not just your GitHub Copilot license. It's 1018 00:36:54.244 --> 00:36:55.864 - also things like WorkIQ 1019 00:36:56.244 --> 00:36:57.224 - API pricing 1020 00:36:57.525 --> 00:36:59.889 - that could come back and get you We'll 1021 00:36:59.889 --> 00:37:01.510 - put a link to that because that was 1022 00:37:01.650 --> 00:37:03.889 - new to me as well was some of 1023 00:37:03.889 --> 00:37:04.389 - the 1024 00:37:04.769 --> 00:37:07.170 - usage based consumption based pricing on some of 1025 00:37:07.170 --> 00:37:09.889 - the WorkIQ stuff that it appears there's a 1026 00:37:09.889 --> 00:37:12.630 - lot of stuff going to consumption based pricing. 1027 00:37:12.690 --> 00:37:15.244 - Like, AI is expensive, Scott, and people that 1028 00:37:15.244 --> 00:37:16.765 - use a lot of it are gonna have 1029 00:37:16.765 --> 00:37:19.325 - to pay more. I think we are leaving 1030 00:37:19.325 --> 00:37:20.704 - the days of 1031 00:37:21.164 --> 00:37:24.605 - subsidized pricing. So kinda the bundled all in 1032 00:37:24.605 --> 00:37:26.945 - kinda thing was nice while it was there. 1033 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.559 - Clearly, this stuff's at the point now where 1034 00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:31.800 - it's costing not only the companies that make 1035 00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:34.440 - it real money, but also their providers and 1036 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:36.599 - everybody else that surrounds them. So as the 1037 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.179 - checks become due, that turns into 1038 00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:42.460 - pricing dynamics changing for consumers. 1039 00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:44.385 - Hey. We all got a taste of it, 1040 00:37:44.385 --> 00:37:46.785 - but now it's gonna kinda kinda go out 1041 00:37:46.785 --> 00:37:48.305 - there and and cost something. And I think 1042 00:37:48.305 --> 00:37:50.545 - you're seeing that very much manifest, the shift 1043 00:37:50.545 --> 00:37:53.344 - in GitHub Copilot pricing that's happening right now. 1044 00:37:53.344 --> 00:37:55.344 - There's a lot of people who were living 1045 00:37:55.344 --> 00:37:57.389 - in a land of, hey. I was able 1046 00:37:57.389 --> 00:37:59.730 - to do all this cool stuff without recognizing 1047 00:38:00.670 --> 00:38:01.809 - how much it actually 1048 00:38:02.269 --> 00:38:04.109 - cost on the back end because it had 1049 00:38:04.109 --> 00:38:06.289 - been masked in kinda all in pricing 1050 00:38:06.750 --> 00:38:10.190 - versus consumption based billing dynamics. It looks like 1051 00:38:10.190 --> 00:38:11.945 - I ran this I don't know. Have you 1052 00:38:11.945 --> 00:38:14.184 - tried this, Scott, where you start a prompt 1053 00:38:14.184 --> 00:38:16.184 - to create a file and then leave and 1054 00:38:16.184 --> 00:38:18.265 - go over to a chat and then go 1055 00:38:18.265 --> 00:38:19.324 - back to the cocreate? 1056 00:38:19.625 --> 00:38:21.704 - It looks like when I left, it just 1057 00:38:21.704 --> 00:38:23.864 - kind of went. No. I haven't had that 1058 00:38:23.864 --> 00:38:25.304 - happen, but I don't think I flipped back 1059 00:38:25.304 --> 00:38:27.130 - and forth between them. Alright. I'll play with 1060 00:38:27.130 --> 00:38:28.969 - it some more. But, yeah, it is. The 1061 00:38:28.969 --> 00:38:31.150 - usage based pricing is going to be 1062 00:38:31.530 --> 00:38:32.030 - fascinating. 1063 00:38:32.650 --> 00:38:33.150 - Maybe 1064 00:38:33.449 --> 00:38:36.329 - scary, not something I'm gonna want to watch, 1065 00:38:36.329 --> 00:38:38.809 - but definitely something everybody has to start paying 1066 00:38:38.809 --> 00:38:40.570 - attention to because more and more of it 1067 00:38:40.570 --> 00:38:42.434 - is showing up. And, Scott, I was able 1068 00:38:42.434 --> 00:38:44.675 - to add our podcast MCP server. We didn't 1069 00:38:44.675 --> 00:38:47.255 - tell everybody that. I created a podcast MCP 1070 00:38:47.315 --> 00:38:49.155 - server. You don't wanna tell everybody that. That's 1071 00:38:49.155 --> 00:38:51.175 - gonna cost me money. You 1072 00:38:52.595 --> 00:38:54.595 - are you're one of the AI providers. I'm 1073 00:38:54.595 --> 00:38:56.650 - one of the AI providers now. No. There 1074 00:38:56.650 --> 00:38:58.329 - is one out there as long as it 1075 00:38:58.329 --> 00:38:59.469 - doesn't get too expensive, 1076 00:38:59.849 --> 00:39:01.929 - but we have sponsors. Maybe we can use 1077 00:39:01.929 --> 00:39:04.730 - some sponsor money to provide this added benefit 1078 00:39:04.730 --> 00:39:06.889 - to listeners. There is an MCP server for 1079 00:39:06.889 --> 00:39:08.570 - the podcast that I created, and it is 1080 00:39:08.570 --> 00:39:10.329 - free for now because not many people use 1081 00:39:10.329 --> 00:39:12.014 - it, but not many people know about it. 1082 00:39:12.094 --> 00:39:12.914 - So we can 1083 00:39:13.295 --> 00:39:14.494 - put a link for that in the show 1084 00:39:14.494 --> 00:39:16.494 - notes if people wanna try it if you're 1085 00:39:16.494 --> 00:39:17.934 - listening. Oh, do you wanna do that? You're 1086 00:39:17.934 --> 00:39:19.635 - gonna have random AI agents 1087 00:39:20.014 --> 00:39:22.255 - coming at you. Well, it's already out there. 1088 00:39:22.255 --> 00:39:22.734 - I was 1089 00:39:23.214 --> 00:39:25.130 - so all of this came out this is 1090 00:39:25.130 --> 00:39:27.130 - the after show, maybe a little bit. All 1091 00:39:27.130 --> 00:39:29.690 - of this came about because Cloudflare has a 1092 00:39:29.690 --> 00:39:31.869 - new tool to check for your 1093 00:39:32.329 --> 00:39:32.829 - websites, 1094 00:39:33.369 --> 00:39:34.590 - AI agent 1095 00:39:34.890 --> 00:39:35.390 - readiness, 1096 00:39:35.769 --> 00:39:36.989 - like, the whole SEO, 1097 00:39:37.369 --> 00:39:39.230 - a what is it? SEO, AEO, 1098 00:39:39.755 --> 00:39:41.614 - all the engine optimizations. 1099 00:39:42.235 --> 00:39:44.235 - And one of them was like, oh, you 1100 00:39:44.235 --> 00:39:45.914 - can go add these DNS entries and point 1101 00:39:45.914 --> 00:39:47.755 - it to an MCP server, and it helps 1102 00:39:47.755 --> 00:39:48.474 - with your 1103 00:39:49.114 --> 00:39:51.215 - all your engine optimizations 1104 00:39:51.515 --> 00:39:53.035 - so people can find you now, and they 1105 00:39:53.035 --> 00:39:54.460 - have a tool to check for that. And 1106 00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:55.900 - it was like, oh, maybe I should create 1107 00:39:55.900 --> 00:39:57.980 - an MCP server, which led me down a 1108 00:39:57.980 --> 00:40:00.140 - huge rabbit hole one day of creating an 1109 00:40:00.140 --> 00:40:02.699 - MCP server. That's hosted on CloudFlare, and for 1110 00:40:02.699 --> 00:40:04.219 - now, I'm under the quota, so it's free. 1111 00:40:04.219 --> 00:40:05.840 - Living the best life. Yeah. 1112 00:40:06.140 --> 00:40:12.864 - So it is MCP server or MCP. Mcp.msclouditpropodcast.com/mcp 1113 00:40:12.864 --> 00:40:14.965 - because we need the MCP in there twice. 1114 00:40:15.264 --> 00:40:17.425 - I needed a subdomain, and it added the 1115 00:40:17.425 --> 00:40:19.344 - slash m cp, so it is what it 1116 00:40:19.344 --> 00:40:21.505 - is. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna, Go play with 1117 00:40:21.505 --> 00:40:23.585 - Scout and add the podcast MCP server to 1118 00:40:23.585 --> 00:40:25.820 - it. I think Scout's gonna be an interesting 1119 00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:27.039 - one. Clearly, there's 1120 00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:28.880 - a desire to 1121 00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:31.599 - kinda have better desktop integrations, 1122 00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:32.480 - better 1123 00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:33.599 - schedulers, 1124 00:40:33.900 --> 00:40:36.300 - and things like that. So I'm very much 1125 00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:37.784 - aligned with you in that 1126 00:40:38.344 --> 00:40:41.224 - this is kinda like what the GitHub or 1127 00:40:41.224 --> 00:40:43.005 - what the m three sixty five Copilot 1128 00:40:43.385 --> 00:40:44.764 - plus co work experience 1129 00:40:45.385 --> 00:40:47.464 - could kind of be. Like, I I could 1130 00:40:47.464 --> 00:40:49.625 - see it going this way. Like, there there 1131 00:40:49.625 --> 00:40:52.550 - are very tangible benefits to having skills and 1132 00:40:52.550 --> 00:40:54.010 - access to skills marketplaces 1133 00:40:55.110 --> 00:40:55.849 - and MCPs 1134 00:40:56.550 --> 00:40:58.949 - and all those things and access to multiple 1135 00:40:58.949 --> 00:40:59.449 - models 1136 00:40:59.750 --> 00:41:01.050 - and kinda user choice 1137 00:41:01.429 --> 00:41:03.269 - and all of that comes with it. It's 1138 00:41:03.909 --> 00:41:05.750 - it'll be an arson to see what the 1139 00:41:05.750 --> 00:41:06.250 - next, 1140 00:41:06.695 --> 00:41:07.355 - I guess, 1141 00:41:07.655 --> 00:41:10.715 - agentic experience is that's pushed out. Is that 1142 00:41:10.855 --> 00:41:13.994 - built into Scout, or is that another separate 1143 00:41:14.054 --> 00:41:16.614 - tool kind of thing? Like, where does that 1144 00:41:16.614 --> 00:41:18.614 - investment go, and what does that look like? 1145 00:41:18.614 --> 00:41:20.969 - That'll be an interesting one. Yes. It absolutely 1146 00:41:20.969 --> 00:41:22.250 - will. Yeah. You're gonna be fighting with this 1147 00:41:22.250 --> 00:41:23.530 - thing all day as you type over there. 1148 00:41:23.530 --> 00:41:25.289 - It doesn't look like you created the presentation. 1149 00:41:25.289 --> 00:41:26.829 - Yeah. You failed. AI. 1150 00:41:27.449 --> 00:41:29.690 - You failed. You're right. I hadn't finished the 1151 00:41:29.690 --> 00:41:31.849 - actual deck yet. I'll generate it now instead 1152 00:41:31.849 --> 00:41:34.804 - of just dramatically preparing to. Snarky teenagers. 1153 00:41:36.625 --> 00:41:38.224 - That's a weird mode. I don't know that 1154 00:41:38.224 --> 00:41:38.724 - I, 1155 00:41:39.505 --> 00:41:41.984 - understand that one, but maybe some folks on 1156 00:41:41.984 --> 00:41:44.065 - the product team have some really snarky teenagers, 1157 00:41:44.065 --> 00:41:45.984 - and they just enjoy that. I don't enjoy 1158 00:41:45.984 --> 00:41:47.764 - the snark for my teenagers, so 1159 00:41:48.090 --> 00:41:49.769 - that's not a bee thing. Yeah. Who knows? 1160 00:41:49.769 --> 00:41:52.730 - And it starts everything with ugh. Every single 1161 00:41:52.730 --> 00:41:55.230 - prompt when it's snarky teenager is ugh. 1162 00:41:56.250 --> 00:41:57.390 - Do I have to? 1163 00:41:57.930 --> 00:41:59.789 - Do you really want me to do this? 1164 00:42:00.505 --> 00:42:02.184 - A deep sigh. Alright. Yeah. So I I'd 1165 00:42:02.184 --> 00:42:04.284 - be interested in other folks' experiences 1166 00:42:04.664 --> 00:42:07.164 - with Scout. Are you building cool automations? 1167 00:42:07.625 --> 00:42:09.085 - Did you find a nifty heartbeat? 1168 00:42:09.784 --> 00:42:12.664 - Thing things like that work for you.
