Hey, I'm Clipy and welcome to disney channel. Just kidding, I make fornite related content and like long romantic walks to my PC. Clipy is above and beyond the best clipboard app for OS X. Paste (⌘+V) has always been limited to the most recent thing you copied (⌘+C). Now I have an endless clipboard at my fingertips with one extra key (⌘+Shift+V by default). Clipy saves a history of items I’ve copied in groups of 10 by default. According to the study we have now a shorter attention span than a goldfish Great story may not be enough, you need visuals. GIFs are great for grabbing that attention.
Add Clippy or his friends to any website for instant nostalgia. Our research shows that people love two things: failed Microsoft technologies and obscure Javascript libraries. Naturally, we decided to combine the two.

Clippy.js is a full Javascript implementation of Microsoft Agent (AKA Clippy and friends), ready to be embedded in any website. Pick an assistant below and mash some animation buttons! Our favorite is Links the cat.

During lunch a few weeks ago we thought it would be cool to have a fully functional Clippy that can be embedded in any website. We fiddled around with it and we had an unexpected amount of fun laughing at Clippy and his antics.
We started thinking about the developers' state of mind when they created Clippy. Did they think it would really help people? It seems that Microsoft really believed that Assistants were the way of the future.
We built Clippy.js over the weekend to share that fun and whimsy with everyone, and to remind people to try new and risky things, even when they seem silly.

Play agent animations
'Speak' to the user
Move the agent around
Use multiple agents at the same time
Agents are composed of multiple sets of animations. However, unlike your Saturday morning cartoon, the animation is not linear. For example, while Links the cat is idle, behind the scenes a coin is flipped, and 10% of the time Links will turn about in boredom, or scratch behind his ears.
Add this code to you to your page to enable Clippy.js.
Usage: Actions
All the agent actions are queued and executed by order, so you could stack them.
Thanks to the awesome Cinnamon Software for developing Double Agent, the program we used to unpack Clippy and his friends!
