Mico, Microsoft's weird lil' AI guy, has been demoted

Microsoft introduced Mico in October 2025 to give an anthropomorphized face to voice conversations with its Copilot AI chatbot. It seems the poor little blob is already getting demoted after less than a year. The company has decided to remove Mico from the voice section of Copilot. Its new home will be the Learn Live hub, where it will continue to be a "tutor" for users. "Mico helped us learn about warmth, expressiveness, and how people want to talk with AI. Those learnings are shaping Copilot going forward," the support page for the blob reads.
