Microsoft introduced its Copilot Fall Release on Thursday, spotlighting a new AI chatbot persona named Mico. Designed as an expressive, customizable companion, Mico serves as the official successor to the classic Clippy. The optional avatar can change colors, animate, and even perform cartwheel‑like motions, aiming to make voice interactions feel more natural. A hidden Easter egg lets users tap the avatar until it temporarily transforms into Clippy, while a "real talk" feature promises conversational nuance. The announcement video highlights Mico at the 42‑minute mark, underscoring Microsoft's push toward a more personable AI experience. Leia mais →

Microsoft introduced Mico, a visual avatar for its Copilot AI chatbot, at the company’s Copilot fall release event. Designed as a warm, customizable "blob" that reacts to user interaction, Mico offers an expressive face for the AI, complete with color changes and an Easter‑egg that transforms it into the classic Clippy. Available initially in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, Mico supports voice mode, long‑term memory, and a new "Real Talk" personality mode that mirrors users without being overly sycophantic. The rollout signals Microsoft’s push to humanize AI while expanding Copilot’s productivity features. Leia mais →
