New in vScope: Find AI Software Across Your IT Environment
AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft 365 Copilot are spreading fast across organizations – often without IT having full visibility. The latest update to vScope includes ready-made tables that instantly show which machines and users have AI software installed or licensed.
Axel Svegerud • AI tools have quickly become part of everyday work for many employees. ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft 365 Copilot are used daily – to write, analyze, and make decisions. That’s a good thing. But for IT, it introduces a new kind of challenge: how do you keep track of what’s actually installed and licensed, and by whom?
The challenge: AI spreads fast and quietly
Unlike traditional software, AI tools often bypass the usual procurement and licensing processes. One employee installs the ChatGPT app on their work machine. Another gets a Copilot license through a Microsoft 365 bundle without IT knowing. It’s not malicious – it happens because the tools are accessible and genuinely useful.
But the consequence for IT is straightforward: the harder it is to see, the harder it is to manage, secure, or cost-allocate.
New in vScope: ready-made tables for AI software
vScope now ships with four ready-made tables that give you immediate visibility – no configuration needed:
- Machines with ChatGPT Installed – which machines in your environment have the ChatGPT client installed
- Machines with Claude Installed – the same for Anthropic’s Claude
- Microsoft 365 Copilot Licensing – a consolidated view of your Copilot licenses
- Users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot License – which users have an active Copilot license tied to their M365 account
- Installed AI applications – all applications, regardless of version, covering Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Codex
The tables are searchable and ready to use right away. As always in vScope, they can be filtered, exported, and added to your own reports and dashboards.
Why it matters
The visibility these tables provide gives you a foundation for three questions IT leaders and ops teams are actively working through right now:
- Security and compliance – Which devices have AI clients installed? With that visibility, you can act – approve, block, or follow up according to your IT policy.
- License control – Are you paying for Copilot licenses tied to inactive users? Or are users running the tool without a license at all?
- Strategic planning – How widespread is AI adoption in your organization, really? It’s hard to make informed decisions about AI strategy without up-to-date data.
The tables are available in the latest update to vScope. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to talk about how your organization can benefit from full visibility into your IT environment with vScope’s asset repository.
