Clippit (or Clippy) is a [[Microsoft Agent]] and Microsoft Actor character by Microsoft Corporation. Clippit came with Microsoft Office 97 as a Microsoft Actor and in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, and 2003 as a Microsoft Agent. He was part of the Office Assistant feature of Microsoft Office, which allowed for an animated character to assist the user or answer questions. Since Clippit is the default assistant, he has become one of the most well-known Microsoft Agent characters. His appearance is a paperclip, thus influencing his name "Clippit."
