Overview

  • Mico, an optional animated character for Copilot, debuts as a customizable, expressive persona designed to feel empathetic yet willing to push back.
  • Microsoft says Mico’s visual experience is available in the United States now, with plans to expand to the United Kingdom, Canada and other regions.
  • The update adds Memory & Personalization so Copilot can retain user facts and past conversation context for future interactions.
  • Copilot Groups supports collaborative work for up to 32 people with tasks, co‑authoring, polls and an Imagine feature to remix AI‑generated ideas, with some capabilities launching in preview.
  • Connectors begin linking services such as OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar, while U.S. users also get Copilot for Health using sources like Harvard Health, a Learn Live tutoring mode, and deeper Edge and Windows features including Actions, Journeys and the “Hey Copilot” voice command.
