Remember #Clippy, Microsoft’s lovable, if slightly overenthusiastic, paperclip assistant from the ’90s? Well, after being driven away by users who just weren’t ready for his level of help, Clippy is eyeing a comeback, thanks to AI/GenAI. Come to find out more than 320,000 users on Twitter X and Instagram rallying for his return.

Clippy, who was added to Microsoft Office in 1997 as an early form of virtual assistant, may have been ahead of his time. But in this age of #AIAgents and digital companions, maybe Clippy’s quirky charm is exactly what we need. Could #AI breathe new life into our old friend?
