Hi everyone!

MS just gave Copilot a face (and expressions!) for voice conversations. Meet Mico.

It's an animated character that reacts with smiles, nods, etc., as you talk, making the chat feel more natural. You can even change its colors with voice commands like "turn forest green" or using the color shuffle button.

It's available now in Copilot voice mode (US first).

P.S. There's a fun easter egg if you click on Mico a few times... reminds you of an old friend :) Hint: 📎

The voice mode with Mico is a clever touch. Real-time expressions make conversations feel less robotic.

One question: How does Copilot handle memory across sessions?

We're seeing with voice AI that context persistence is the killer feature. Users hate repeating themselves, even to AI.

Curious if Mico remembers previous conversations or if it's session-based.

Either way, excited to see Microsoft pushing conversational AI forward. 🚀

Loved it! Mico makes it feel like a friendly assistant and AI needs it too much. I'm sure it's gonna be cool. Great hunting Zac.

Love seeing Copilot get more personal. Mico adds a friendly face to voice chats, and the color tweaks by voice are a nice touch. Memory, Actions, Vision all in one feels handy for daily use. Also, that easter egg made me smile. Hello old friend, paperclip vibes!

That’s adorable — and such a simple way to make voice chat feel more personal. Curious to see how users respond once it rolls out beyond the US!
