What you need to know
Do you find yourself yearning for past digital assistants such as Clippy? Well, today is your lucky day, as a third-party app by developerFireCube on Twitterhas just launched on the Microsoft Store and brings the power of ChatGPT to a Clippy assistant that sits on yourWindows 11desktop.
Clippy by FireCubeuses OpenAI’sChatGPTservices to empower Clippy with complex AI capabilities. Not only can it help you write a letter like the old Clippy could, but it can now also answer complex questions, partake in creative writing, help with coding, and so much more.
Anything ChatGPT can do, Clippy can now also do, thanks to this new app. Once the app is installed, the classic Clippy persona will sit on your desktop in the bottom right, always available for you to start asking it questions.
The app requires a personal OpenAI API key, which you cangenerate hereonce you’ve created an account with OpenAI and added a billing method (or you can read our tutorial onhow to get an OpenAI API key). Once you’ve done that, punch in your newly generated API key into the app, and you should be ready.
Microsoft recently announcedWindows Copilot, its own new Windows OS assistant powered by Bing Chat (which is powered by ChatGPT) that will be launching later this year and arriving in preview first over the summer.
