Codex Just Works, Scout Has the Ceiling, Cursor Might Beat Them All
pswider · x · 2026-09-07
A Microsoft veteran with 30 years shipping tech ranks the agents defining his Microsoft 365 workflow: Codex is his daily driver that "just works"; Microsoft Scout—Build 2026's always-on Autopilot agent reaching files, shell, browser, Teams, Outlook and OneDrive via Work IQ—has the strongest positioning and sings once hooked to Grok 4.6; Cursor may have the highest ceiling. His benchmark isn't intelligence but which agent becomes part of how you work. Disclosure: his team is building the remote-control surface Scout lacks, so he's not neutral.
