Microsoft Unveils Mico, A Cuddly AI Companion for Copilot

Microsoft has introduced a new digital helper called Mico, which brings a touch of personality to the Copilot AI assistant. This updated version makes Copilot more approachable and user-friendly, making it easier to collaborate and learn from.

Mico is customizable and appears when using Copilot in voice chat, mobile apps, or Microsoft Edge. It adds a personal touch, making conversations feel less hollow and cold. The new features include long-term memory, allowing Copilot to recall important information about users. A “Groups” feature enables real-time collaboration with up to 32 people, while the “Learn Live” feature acts as a tutor, guiding students through interactive lessons.

Mico is available in the US, Canada, and the UK, with rollout to other countries expected soon. This update marks a significant improvement over Copilot’s previous simplicity, turning it into a more engaging AI companion.
