Clippy, the nostalgic virtual assistant from the late 1990s and early 2000s, has been revived by FireCube Studios as a modern AI-powered desktop assistant.
Unlike its original incarnation by Microsoft, this new version of Clippy leverages OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model to provide intelligent assistance on Windows 10 and 11 platforms. Here’s an overview of its features, functionality, and architecture.
The application is divided into three main components:
IChatService
and OpenAI key implementation.To use Clippy, users need a Windows 10/11 PC with an internet connection and an OpenAI API key. The app can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.
After installation, users must input their API key in the settings to activate Clippy’s AI features.
FireCube Studios plans to eliminate the need for personal API keys in future versions and expand Clippy’s functionality by integrating more ChatGPT advancements.
Additional features may include support for other classic Microsoft assistants and improved interaction capabilities.
Clippy by FireCube successfully blends nostalgia with modern AI technology, making it both a practical tool and a delightful throwback for Windows users.
