Microsoft's blobby AI companion has begun his ascent to the heavens to join Clippy and Cortana. Okay, he's being booted to another platform
See you later, Mico. We literally hardly knew you.
Microsoft's AI companion, Mico, once a beloved character of Copilot Voice, is being moved to new heights. No, he is not being escorted to the stars, but rather being transitioned to Microsoft's Learn Live platform. There, Mico will take on a new role as a teaching assistant. This change, while not the end, signals a shift in Mico's journey from the world of Copilot Voice.
Microsoft's announcement notes that Mico was instrumental in teaching the company about warmth, expressiveness, and the way people desire to communicate with AI. Despite his contributions, Mico's influence may have gone unnoticed by many. His final resting place among the likes of Clippy and Cortana in Microsoft's character hall of fame is a fitting end for a character who, like the ghosts of Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker, and Yoda, will continue to watch over us from afar.
