Microsoft has given its Copilot assistant a new face — literally. The company introduced Mico, a small animated character designed to make chatting with Copilot feel more personal and natural.
Mico, short for Microsoft Copilot, reacts with facial expressions and colour changes during conversations, creating a friendlier and more human-like experience. It’s hard not to see shades of Clippy, the iconic Microsoft Office paperclip from the early 2000s, making this feel like Clippy reincarnated for the AI era.
The update also introduces new conversation styles like Real Talk, which aims for more natural back-and-forth discussions that adapt to your tone and encourage collaboration.
Microsoft says the goal is to make Copilot more engaging and relatable while keeping it professional enough for everyday use.
