Use case overview

Scout ran PowerShell to delete 31 leftover installers (4.4 GB) after asking permission, and installed a tool to save a YouTube transcript when the browser was blocked.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    In Microsoft Scout, a personal agent on a Windows 11 PC, the author asked it to look through the downloads folder. It found leftover installers and ran PowerShell to clear them, after asking permission first. When a browser login blocked a YouTube transcript, Scout installed an open-source tool, wrote and ran Python, and tried different approaches until it saved the transcript to a working folder.

  2. How it went

    Scout cleared 31 installers and freed 4.4 GB. It also pulled the YouTube transcript and saved it, after the browser route failed.

  3. Worth knowing

    Scout bills against GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise credits, and setup needs a Frontier organization plus an Intune policy, so involve IT early.

Example prompts

Try with Microsoft Scout
Scan my [Downloads folder] for leftover installer files like .exe and .msi that I no longer need, and list them with sizes and total space. Pause and ask for my approval before deleting anything. Then get me the transcript of [YouTube video URL] and save it as a text file in [folder], installing a tool if you need one and telling me what you installed.
