In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at why Microsoft thinks avatars will boost AI voice adoption.Highlights00:11 — Microsoft has introduced an experimental Portraits feature in Copilot Labs in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada.

The more users ask quick and simple questions, the more the technology will be utilized, leading to increased adoption. And the fact that you can have these interactions through voice as opposed to text will definitely speed up this adoption process. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
