Microsoft Copilot will no longer show its emotive yellow blob, Mico, when you use the chatbot’s voice mode. In a support page, Microsoft says it’s going to move Mico to its Learn Live platform, where the avatar will have “more to react to,” as reported earlier by GeekWire.
Microsoft’s Clippy-like Mico character is no longer the face of Copilot
Mico launched in Copilot’s voice mode less than a year ago.
Mico launched in Copilot’s voice mode last October, with Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman pitching the avatar as a way to give the chatbot an “identity.” The blob would react to what you say in real-time, complete with facial expressions and animations.
