Less than a year on, Microsoft tells Mico to pipe down
Summary
The Register reports that Microsoft has pulled Mico, the Copilot Voice avatar, from its Copilot interface as Copilot consumer and work apps merge into a single entity. Mico will transition to Learn Live, a voice-based study mode, while Copilot Voice remains usable without Mico. The article places this in the broader arc of Microsoft's AI personas (Clippy, Cortana) and suggests Learn Live is the future home for the character.
