Microsoft Scout lies dormant without a remote surface; user says mobile access could lift usage 10–50x
pswider · x · 2026-09-26
Veteran user @pswider publicly called on Microsoft: if only 7% of customers will pay extra for AI features, adoption and daily usage matter more than ever. He uses Codex daily, but Scout lies dormant—purely because he can't control it away from his computer, so he simply avoids business apps.
His argument: give Scout a great mobile app or a true remote surface and usage could increase 10–50x. Teams chat is useful but is not a modern agent remote; agents need to feel always available, persistent, and one tap away. He closes with #EveryModernAgentHasARemote, urging Microsoft to listen to community veterans.
