Microsoft Unveils ’Mico’ as Copilot’s AI Companion in Generative AI Push
Microsoft intensifies its generative AI race with the introduction of 'Mico,' a cartoonish avatar designed to humanize its Copilot chatbot. The expressive blob, named as a nod to Copilot, aims to make AI interactions more personal and collaborative, echoing the nostalgic charm of Clippy from the 1990s.
The upgraded Copilot now supports group brainstorming via LINK sharing and integrates with productivity apps like Gmail, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Microsoft has also tailored the chatbot for health and education queries, prioritizing responses from verified sources.
