# Scout: AI Agent Platform for Autonomous Work

> Scout is an agentic workforce studio for building and deploying autonomous AI agents. Automate workflows and get real work done at scale.

Scout is a platform where you can build and deploy autonomous AI agents that handle real business tasks — from customer support and research to document processing and CRM hygiene — without constant human oversight.

## What Can You Build?

Scout agents are already handling real workloads across teams:

* **Customer Support** — Resolve tickets, look up account history, and escalate urgent issues automatically
* **Research & Analysis** — Gather competitive intel, summarize findings, and generate polished reports
* **Document Processing** — Extract data from PDFs, update CRM records, and automate paperwork pipelines
* **Knowledge Assistance** — Answer questions from your internal docs, wikis, and databases
* **Workflow Automation** — Connect your tools and run multi-step processes on a schedule or trigger

## Core Building Blocks

| Component              | What It Does                                                                           |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Agents**             | Execute tasks using instructions, planning, and tool calls — autonomously and at scale |
| **Workflows**          | Orchestrate repeatable multi-step automations with conditional logic and triggers      |
| **Integrations**       | Connect Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, email, calendar, and more                  |
| **Databases & Tables** | Store structured data with semantic and hybrid retrieval for your agents               |
| **Drive**              | Manage files, folders, and generated artifacts for agents and workflows                |
| **Skills**             | Package reusable capabilities and tool guidance that agents can call on                |

## Where to Begin

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your first agent">
    Head to [Scout Studio](https://studio.scoutos.com) and pick a template from the Agent Marketplace. Your agent is live in minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your tools">
    Open [Integrations](/integrations/overview) to connect Salesforce, Slack, Notion, Gmail, and more. Agents get one-click access to everything.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automate with workflows">
    Use [Workflows](/workflows/overview) to chain agents, tools, and logic into reliable, event-driven automations that run without manual intervention.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access via API or SDK">
    Use the [Python or TypeScript SDK](/agents/getting-started) to run agents programmatically, or call the REST API directly for full control.
  </Step>
