Microsoft teases yet another AI announcement for later this week — is Copilot about to get an educational glow up?

Microsoft is hinting at a major update for Copilot, its AI assistant, scheduled to be revealed this Thursday. They’ve shared a short preview on platforms like Instagram, and the post was also shared by teams working on Windows, Surface, and Edge, suggesting a wide-ranging announcement involving multiple parts of Microsoft.

Microsoft is hinting at a new announcement, but it’s not yet clear what it is. They’ve released a brief, animated video featuring a Copilot avatar named Mico moving through a digital space, accompanied by the playful caption, “Mico’s lit, literally.”

Mico is a new AI assistant from Microsoft created to help people learn. It’s been quietly available in GroupMe and is designed to be an active participant in group conversations. Microsoft explains that Mico doesn’t just respond to requests – it joins in, remembers what’s been said, and adjusts to the overall tone of the group chat.

It appears Microsoft is integrating Mico – its advanced educational technology – directly into the main Copilot app. Reports from TestingCatalog.com show Microsoft is currently testing a “Study and Learn” feature powered by Mico, which would allow users to benefit from its specialized training capabilities.

Microsoft is reportedly working on a new feature for Copilot that combines AI-powered conversations with visual learning tools. According to TestingCatalog, this will allow users – like students and teachers – to discuss educational topics with Copilot using voice commands and receive interactive, step-by-step guidance.

Microsoft will officially reveal details about Mico in Copilot this Thursday on the Copilot YouTube channel. The exact start time hasn’t been announced yet, but there might be other exciting news shared during the event as well. We’ll have full coverage of the announcement, so check back for updates!

Microsoft recently announced significant improvements to the Copilot app for Windows, moving the operating system closer to being a platform that can act on your behalf. Features like voice activation with “Hey Copilot” and Copilot Actions aim to make interacting with Windows by voice feel more intuitive, and allow Copilot to complete tasks for you.
