Microsoft kills off unsuccessful AI features while merging its separate Copilot apps

Microsoft is simplifying Copilot by merging its consumer and business apps, and removing unsuccessful AI features such as podcasts, Group Chats, Deep Research, and its Mico character. This change aims to streamline the product. It's unclear what this means for users of these features. Users of the removed features will need to find alternative solutions. This change is part of Microsoft's effort to focus on successful AI features.
