I've toyed with the idea of hooking up something like Copilot to Clippy to make an "agent" using the Microsoft Agents API.
Unfortunately, the API died in Windows Vista, and was only widely available in Windows XP at the latest.
API documentation seems rather sparse too, though it looks like an LLM somewhere found a pirated book or something with example code because generated code seems to understand the API and its restrictions decently well. Writing the kind of C++ that still compiles on old versions of Windows is what broke my will to finish the project, though.
- seba_dos1 10mo agoI remember writing a Delphi application that spawned and used an agent, and even creating my own character when I was a teenager, so it surely wasn't that sparse. Reimplementations exist too: https://mklab.eu.org/clippy/ https://mklab.eu.org/clippy/
