Given Microsoft's long history of failure with personal assistants I'm looking forward to this one! Clippy, Cortana, Copilot! Wasn't an animated dog called rover one of these way back? The best of all was unquestionably Ms. Dewey for Microsoft Windows Live Search who is almost forgotten.
What, a Microsoft AI product that isn't branded "Copilot"?!

Anyone who makes products want users of our product to keep coming back as though they are addicted, but not actually addicted.
Scout sounds like an excitable little dog that runs headlong into trees when trying to catch a frisbee.

"Addiction" is a bad word. It implies the user is not in control of themselves. Anyone who makes products want users of our product to keep coming back as though they are addicted, but not actually addicted.
Can you explain the distinction? I am not seeing it. If I keep refreshing a product page to get another dopamine hit, am I addicted or not addicted but appearing so to your metrics?

Once you're thinking about how to keep a user coming back, you're in the mutually adversarial design space, whatever language is used to more pleasantly redecorate that reality.
