This unofficial version of Clippy will have to do for now. While most people think back on Clippy with nostalgia, it's clear Microsoft doesn't want to bring a version of that Office Assistant again for Bing Chat or Copilot, even as an option. It launched in March 1995, before the release of Windows 95, but it bombed hard and was quickly retired less than a year later.
It was also the logo for Microsoft's software that was supposed to offer a version of Windows with a "friendlier" UI. That includes adding even more Office Assistant characters, including the truly infamous Bob.īob was basically a smiley yellow face with glasses. FireCube Studios says they are working on more improvements for its version of Clippy. Newer PCs and laptops shipping with Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11 no longer come with a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the back or bottom of the PC. The app itself is open source, and you can get the code from GitHub. The developers says they are trying to launch a new version where buying that key is not needed to use Clippy. The big catch, at least for now, is that you will need to purchase an OpenAI key in order for the Clippy app to actually work for you.
The good news is that the Clippy app is available for free.
