    Is there any fundamental diffidence between Copilot and Scout, or is it just a straight up rebranding?

      My impression is that scout is specifically going to be an agentic ai. Agentic ai platforms are supposedly a little more competent than chatbots, but still subject to the same llm chicanery and enormous energy usage.

      It’s hard to compare against copilot because MS has called a ton of distinct things copilot (see the diagram below).
