EVENT DOSSIER
On August 13, 2026, TechCrunch reported on Microsoft’s progress in integrating its various independent Copilot applications. Microsoft is combining the previously separate Copilot applications to provide a more unified user experience. In this process, Microsoft has decided to remove those AI features that did not meet expectations in order to optimize overall performance and resource allocation. This integration aims to enhance the convenience and efficiency for users when using different Copilot services.
微软正在合并其面向消费者和企业的 Copilot 应用，并淘汰多项不成功的人工智能功能。该举措承认个人与专业 AI 使用场景的重叠，旨在简化策略以应对 ChatGPT、Claude 和 Gemini 的竞争。根据微软官方文档，消费者将失去小组聊天、AI 播客、Copilot Labs 实验功能及 Deep Research 功能，截止日期为 2026 年 8 月 18 日；付费专业用户可通过 Researcher 替代 Deep Research。此外，微软将移除其吉祥物 Mico（一个类似 Clippy 的漂浮球体），部分功能可能在过渡期暂时消失，独立 Copilot 应用生成的文件将被迁移至 OneDrive。
