Fun new app from Felix Reiseberg:
Clippy lets you run a variety of large language models (LLMs) locally on your computer while sticking with a user interface of the 1990s. It’s a love letter and homage to the late, great Clippy - and the visual design created by Microsoft in that era.
Love this. I’ve often joked that AI chatbots are basically a modern iteration of Clippy, especially with ChatGPT’s overly sycophantic persona. This takes the idea to its logical conclusion, with a lovely retro 90’s UI. The real test is whether it also pops up randomly in the middle of tasks to offer unwanted advice.
