By Matt SaundersMicrosoft Scout, New Enterprise Autopilot Built on OpenClaw, Announced at Build 2026
Microsoft recently introduced at Build 2026 Microsoft Scout, an always-on agent.

Microsoft Scout integrates with Work IQ and is based on the open-source agent framework OpenClaw.
By Bruno CouriolAI Agent Identity and Permission Challenges: How Uber and Auth0 Are Rethinking Access Control
Uber recently described an internal architecture for propagating identity across multi-agent AI workflows. The design aims to perserve user context, agent provenance, and scoped access as agents delegate work and call internal tools. The case study aligns with Auth0’s view that AI agents need permissions based on delegated authority, scoped credentials, and explicit human approval boundaries.
By Eran StillerPresentation: From Hype to Strong Foundations: What the Rise, Fall and Resurgence of Agents Can Teach Us About Outlasting the Cycle
Aditya Kumarakrishnan explains how to move past the "amnesia phase" of AI. He shares a blueprint for engineering leaders to build modular agent frameworks using CoALA, leverage decades of process science for scalable workflows, and "terraform" legacy environments into robust, event-sourced artifacts capable of handling unpredictable, cross-functional agent demands.
