Remember Clippy, the cheeky paperclip that popped up in Microsoft Office back in the '90s?
Well, Microsoft is back at it with Mico, a new AI character for Copilot’s voice mode, ready to charm (or annoy) a whole new generation! Mico is set to debut in the US, bringing with it a fresh wave of AI-powered assistance.
Mico isn’t just a pretty face; it’s equipped with a new memory feature to recall details about you and your projects. Plus, it’s got a nifty Learn Live mode, transforming into a Socratic tutor to guide you through concepts with interactive whiteboards and visual cues. Perfect for students cramming for finals or anyone brushing up on a new language!

Microsoft’s AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, hinted at giving Copilot a permanent identity, and Mico is a big step in that direction. Imagine an AI assistant with its own room and personality—sounds like a digital roommate, right?
The tech giant is doubling down on its mission to make talking to your computer the norm. With Windows 11 PCs marketed as “the computer you can talk to,” Microsoft hopes Mico will succeed where Cortana didn’t quite hit the mark.
While Mico is leaps and bounds ahead of Clippy and Cortana, Microsoft still faces the challenge of making chatting with your PC feel less awkward. But with Easter eggs and a playful touch, Mico might just win us over. So, ready to say “Hello” to Mico? Your computer might just become your new best friend!
