The company’s amorphous mascot will no longer haunt Copilot Voice.
Microsoft introduced Mico in October 2025 to give an anthropomorphized face to voice conversations with its Copilot AI chatbot. It seems the poor little blob is already demoted after less than a year. The company has decided to remove Mico from the voice section of Copilot. Its new home will be the Learn Live hub, where it will continue to be a “tutor” for users.
“Mico helped us discover warmth, expressiveness, and the way people want to talk with AI. These learnings shape Copilot in the future,” the blob’s support page reads. “Learning is where the character has the most room for growth, with tutoring sessions giving Mico more feedback and teaching,” the page continues, sounding a lot like an explanation for sending the family dog to a farm.
The page repeatedly reiterates that you can still use voice to interact with Copilot, assuming you’re the rare person who actually wants to use Copilot. If you’ve created a particularly adorable version of the blob, be aware that Mico-specific voice settings won’t carry over to its new location.
Thanks to The edge for picking up on the latest development in this chapter of Microsoft’s long and strange history of ill-fated character creations.
