Microsoft introduces Mico, a new AI-powered virtual character for Copilot's voice mode that responds with real-time expressions during conversations. The bouncing orb assistant includes memory features, a Learn Live tutoring mode with interactive whiteboards, and Easter eggs reminiscent of Clippy. Available initially in the US, UK, and Canada, Mico represents Microsoft's renewed effort to encourage voice interaction with computers, following previous attempts with Clippy and Cortana.
