Microsoft removes Mico from Copilot Voice, relocates it to Learn Live
↗
Microsoft is pulling the Mico anthropomorphic blob character from Copilot Voice less than a year after its introduction and moving it to Learn Live, a voice-based educational study mode.
Mico is the latest in Microsoft's long line of anthropomorphic assistants that failed to stick, following Clippy, Cortana, and Bob. The move signals that Microsoft still hasn't found the right interface metaphor for AI personality, even as it merges its consumer and work Copilot apps into one.
