Introducing Scout, an AI tool to help organizations integrate AI and ensure data privacy

May 23 — 2024

Martin Gagnon
Partner, Director ⏤ Technological Exploration

Scout is here to help organizations adopt AI securely with 100% data privacy. No data is stored outside of the organization’s infrastructure. It's not for tech experts; Scout democratizes and governs how organizations get the most out of AI.



Why Scout is different from other platforms

Unlike other AI services, Scout operates directly within an organization’s infrastructure. This means sensible data stays under the organization’s control, secure. Scout can be extended with the different products used within an entity. Intelligence can be added to existing CRM, ERP, document store, knowledge bases or even Teams and Google. Unlike Copilot, there are no limitations based on what Teams offers; the decision on what data is critical for the organization is made by the user.



Scout can do more than the others

  • Personal assistants: It is possible to create personal assistants and equip them with knowledge (files, databases or lots of documents).
  • Automated Tasks: Scout can handle repetitive tasks, such as organizing information, creating spreadsheets and preparing documents. The possibilities are limited only by one's imagination.
  • Semantics document search: Instead of searching for the exact word, documents can be searched using AI semantics where documents containing certain concepts can now be found.
  • Flexibility: Scout is AI agnostic (it can use any AI technology), ensuring it remains useful and up-to-date as technologies evolve. All of this with total data privacy and security.



Scout understands all services and software

Salesforce AI, Copilot, Hubspot AI, Slack AI, there are a lot of AI services and plans out there (not to mention the associated costs). The consolidation of all data facilitates the creation of correlations that yield optimal answers to organizations. Scout is capable of interfacing with a comprehensive range of services, including bespoke in-house software, to procure the necessary answers.
