Scout Research: Shared Research Sessions in the Browser

Explore shared Scout research sessions in the browser, including private cloud or VPC deployments with agreed permissions and model connections.

By Nisarg

Scout started as a terminal-first AI harness, and for quants and engineers who live in the command line, that was exactly right. But funds are teams. A trader should not need to open a terminal to review a run. A PM should not need to read logs to validate an output. A CIO should not have to guess how AI is being used across the firm.

Scout Research brings that work into a browser. The product page describes hosted access and private deployment options inside your cloud or VPC. Private deployment requirements and supported integrations are scoped with your team.

One session, shared across the fund

Scout Research does not replace the terminal version. It expands it. Technical users keep working the way they always have. Everyone else gets the same work through a browser.

Here is what that looks like in practice. A quant kicks off a research session from the terminal. Later, a trader opens it in the browser and reviews what happened. A PM validates the backtest and asks follow-up questions right there in the session. Ops checks the workflow history. Leadership sees the audit trail.

No screenshots. No pasted logs. No twenty-minute Slack explanation. The session itself is the shared object, with context intact and work continuing.

How it fits together

Scout Terminal and Scout Research share the same harness inside your environment.

Built for funds that need control

Funds need shared workflows, internal permissions, reviewability, and an audit trail. They also need to understand which systems receive sensitive information and who controls those connections.

A private deployment can put the research workspace inside your infrastructure. That does not establish where every connected model, broker or data provider processes information. Review the selected providers, permissions and deployment boundaries before connecting confidential records.

See it in action

A terminal-first session picked up in the browser and reviewed by the rest of the fund.

We are releasing a short video walking through a real workflow: a session starts with a technical user in the terminal, moves into the browser, and gets reviewed by a trader and a PM.

If you looked at Scout before and thought it was powerful but too terminal-first, this is the release built for you. Reach out through our contact form or book a quick call, and we'll show you the deployment options for your team.
