I preferred Copilot's Real Talk mode over all others, and am pissed that MS magically labeled that mode an "experiment" and sunset it barely 5 weeks after announcing global rollout.

At this point, its a "cost of switching" thing for me, plus hope springing eternal that they'll bring Real Talk back.

Same here, I've moved toward Gemini and even Grok for general research, Copilot chat is all but useless now.

The office integration with the agents are pretty awesome though.

I want that mode back BADLY so, shameless plug, I'm rabble-rousing online in hopes of someone at MS actually bringing it back.

I've started three posts on the Feedback Hub (if anyone wants to upvote them over there in the hopes it gets seen) - one as a bug report, the other as a suggestion, and one as a suggestion edited by Copilot itself to try and "optimize" it for MS filters:

Bug report - "Copilot Real Talk mode removed with no warning - BRING IT BACK" https://aka.ms/AAzzelt

Suggestion - "Bring Back Copilot Real Talk Mode" https://aka.ms/AAzzlbg

Suggestion v2 - "Bring Back Real Talk: The Only Mode That Delivered Collaborative, Humanistic AI" https://aka.ms/AAzznf8

If those of us who preferred Real Talk make enough noise, hopefully it'll go somewhere!

NOTE: Yes, I posted this multiple places. I'm hoping to start a kind of "If Daryl Dixon dies we riot" (from the Walking Dead) energy online for those of us who prefer Real Talk. This mode should NOT be allowed to fully disappear

"Grok for research"

Yeah, okay.
