Microsoft Pulls Its Copilot Mascot Mico After Ten Months

Microsoft has removed Mico, the cartoon character it added to its Copilot chatbot's voice feature in October 2025, and moved it to the Learn Live hub as a study helper. Mico's personal settings will not carry over. Worth flagging: the move, similar to the retirement of Clippy years ago, shows that big AI companies are still testing whether people want a friendly face on their chatbots.
