Microsoft Merges Copilot Apps, Cuts 4 AI Features and Mico

Summary
Microsoft is folding its consumer Copilot app and Microsoft 365 Copilot into one application, with updates rolling out through August.
Aug. 18 is the cutoff for four retiring features—Group Chat, Podcasts, Deep Research and Copilot Labs—and Microsoft says related generated content will be deleted unless users export it.
Mico, Copilot’s animated mascot, is also being removed from the assistant, though Microsoft plans to keep the character on Learn Live as a tutor.
Microsoft says the overhaul will create a simpler, more cohesive experience, but it follows reports that Copilot lost market share to OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, prompting reduced AI sales targets.
