Not notable: Microsoft is not in the frontier-lab list and no benchmark published. Launched 2026-06-02 as 'Microsoft Scout' (experimental, Frontier program + select private-preview customers); renamed Autopilot in the 2026-09-25 'new Copilot' announcement, which says it is 'expanding to private preview at the end of the month'. Mapped to 'waitlist' as the closest schema value for private preview. Microsoft's Copilot page now lists Autopilot as 'Available in Private Preview'; Microsoft says it will come to Outlook and Teams and be in preview for Microsoft 365 Premium and Pro subscribers later in 2026.
