What do we mean when we talk about a scaffold for learning?

What do we mean when we talk about a scaffold for learning? I really like this definition offered Thomas Corbin & Jack Walton in this paper. From pg 1663:

a tool, practice, or other agent who assists the primary agent in performing a task themselves (for example, an adult caregiver who helps a child to read a sentence or complete an equation by providing prompts and positive feedback without doing the work for them). (Corbin et al., 2025. See also, Lodge et al., 2023; Wass et al., 2011)

The problem with AI summarisers (the topic of the paper), as well AI tools more broadly, is that they are not designed to be scaffolds. As the authors describe it later in the same page a scaffold is designed to be dispensed with:

A scaffold, in the more common sense of the word, is a structure workers use to con- struct a building. Importantly, once the building is complete, it is then removed at the end of the process. It helps support construction, but once construction ends so does its role. The metaphor works in an educational context because the scaffold is removed once a student grasps the requisite information or skill. A child’s reading is scaffolded if their reading of a sentence is aided by an adult, but the intended goal of that assistance is that it will be removed as the child’s grasp of language improves. An adult caregiver, or to extend the metaphor, a higher education teacher, is motivated to remove their scaffolded assistance as the student’s capabilities improve.

A subscription based service by definition isn’t designed to be dispensed with. While enterprise services short circuit their logic, Copilot 365 is explicitly intended to enable existing capabilities to be outsourced. This is the design philosophy upon which the promise of productivity gains is inevitably founded. Can it be used as a scaffold? What are the teaching and learning practices we need to surround it to make it possible to operate as a scaffold?
