Microsoft is retiring the Mico avatar from its Copilot chatbot, less than a year after its introduction. The emotive yellow blob, designed to give Copilot an identity and react in real-time, will be moved to Microsoft's Learn Live platform. This change is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to merge its Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot applications and follows a recent AI leadership reshuffling. AI
IMPACT This change signals a shift in how Microsoft intends to present its AI assistants, moving away from emotive avatars towards a more integrated experience.
RANK_REASON Product change for an existing AI assistant, not a new model release or core research.
