Summarize Teams threads and book the meeting

An early Scout user had it scan Teams chats, surface tasks, find a hidden meeting ask, and schedule the call after checking calendars.

Done with Microsoft Scoutยท Intermediate

What they did
Robbert gave Microsoft Scout one instruction for Teams conversations across multiple tenants. Scout went through the messages, pulled out pending action items, found a meeting request buried in a thread, and checked both calendars for availability. It then set up the appointment and posted a Teams confirmation.
How it went
No extra manual work was needed after the first request. The example does not give any timing details or counts.
Tips
Let the agent draft the meeting details and wait for your approval before it sends anything. Keep in mind that Scout pauses when the computer sleeps, and its desktop app was version 0.22 in this example.

Try it yourself with Microsoft Scout

Review my Teams conversations in [channels/tenants] from the last [time period]. List the action items aimed at me, including who asked and when. Also look for any meeting request about [person/topic], check both calendars for an open slot, and prepare the invite details for me to review. Stop and ask before you send any invite or confirmation.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
