"Starting today, Copilot conversations -- whether through voice or keyboard -- will reportedly become less cloying and sycophantic than the current iteration, thanks to a new "real talk" feature that Microsoft claims will challenge your assumptions and "adapt to your vibe." In this release we're adding features to make Copilot more personal and more adaptable to your needs and style, while holding true to our brand values."
"And for those who have been dreaming of the day that Clippy returns, the wait is over. Copilot chats can be accompanied by an "optional visual presence" -- a called Mico (short for Microsoft Copilot, and pictured above) that "listens, reacts, and even changes colors to reflect your interactions ... Mico shows support through animation and expressions, creating a friendly and engaging experience.""
Microsoft announced a major Copilot Fall Release that introduces 12 new features to expand Copilot across its products. The release adds a "real talk" mode to make conversations less sycophantic and more challenging and adaptive to user tone. Copilot now supports group chats and an optional animated avatar called Mico that reacts and changes colors to mirror interactions. Users can connect Copilot to external services to search email and calendar events. A Copilot for Health variant promises credible results drawn from trusted sources. The updates aim to increase personalization, adaptability, and integration across workflows.
