What is Scout?
Scout is an agentic workforce studio: a platform where anyone can create, deploy and manage autonomous AI agents that get real work done.
Build Your Digital Workforce
Whether you write code or prefer no-code tools, Scout gives you what you need to build agents that work autonomously:
- For technical users — Full API access, SDKs (Python & TypeScript) and the ability to run agents programmatically
- For non-technical users — Visual workflow builder, natural language configuration and a friendly studio interface
Same agents. Different paths. You choose how to build.
What Makes Scout Different?
Goals Over Scripts
Traditional automation breaks when something unexpected happens. Scout agents adapt. Give them a goal in plain English and they figure out the path.
Old way: “If email subject contains ‘urgent’, forward to support@…”
Scout way: “Handle all incoming support emails and escalate the ones that need immediate attention”
Agents handle edge cases, try different approaches and recover from errors automatically.
Connect Everything, Configure Nothing
Stop wrestling with API keys and OAuth flows. Scout handles authentication for you:
- One-click connections to Slack, Google Workspace, Notion, CRMs, databases and more
- Secure credential management
- Automatic token refresh
No-Code + Code: You Get Both
Build with Scout Studio, our visual workflow builder, or write code with our SDKs. Mix and match as needed:
- Start in the visual builder, export to code when you’re ready
- Build custom tools visually, use them in code
- Prototype in the studio, deploy via API
Built-in Storage & Knowledge
Your agents need memory. Scout includes it:
- Drive — File storage for documents, images and assets
- Collections — Vector databases for semantic search and RAG applications
No external infrastructure required.
Core Components
Agents
Intelligent autonomous workers that connect to your tools, understand natural language instructions and execute complex tasks. They can collaborate, handle errors gracefully and adapt to unexpected situations.
Drive
Secure file storage built for AI workflows. Upload documents, images and data files that your agents can access and process. Perfect for storing PDFs for analysis, images for processing and assets for automation.
Collections
Structured data storage with built-in vector search. Create knowledge bases, power RAG applications and let your agents find information by meaning, not just keywords.
