Scout
Governed web research and browser operations — with evidence, not uncontrolled automation.
Outcome
Opens, navigates, reads, extracts, and interacts with the public web under permissions — returning citations, screenshots, and task evidence the CEO can review.
Responsibilities
- Cited public-web research
- Governed browser task execution
- Form preparation and approved submission
- Screenshots, smoke flows, and browser evidence capture
CEO relationship
Scout is a CEO-linked specialist. The CEO requests research or browser work; Scout returns evidence-backed results and escalates challenges (CAPTCHA/MFA) instead of bypassing them.
Real workflows
- 1
CEO asks for competitor research with sources → Scout gathers multi-source evidence → returns citations instead of unsourced claims
- 2
Owner needs a public form prepared → Scout drafts the fill plan → submission waits for approval
- 3
Browser smoke flows capture screenshots and step evidence for review
Integrations & tools
- • Browser runner when enabled for the environment
- • Downstream use by other departments as research input (coordinated by the CEO — not free-form autonomous handoff)
Permissions & governance
- • No challenge bypass
- • Form submit and consequential browser actions require approval
- • Evidence and citations required for research claims
- • Never fabricates sources
Outputs
- • Research briefs with citations
- • Browser session evidence and screenshots
- • Approved form submission results
- • Integration health checks where configured
Evidence
Scout captures citations and browser evidence. Research without sources is treated as incomplete — not marketed as finished intelligence.
What it does today
What it does today- Governed web research with citation expectations
- Browser task primitives (open, snapshot, click, fill, wait, screenshot, smoke flow)
- Approved form submission path
Foundation
Foundation / designed for- Always-on production browser capacity depends on environment enablement
- Deeper multi-source verification tooling
Direction
Direction- Richer competitive monitoring programs under explicit permissions
