About Clippy

Hi, I'm Deepanshu. Clippy is a small AI assistant for your desktop, dressed up like it's 1998. You chat with it in a classic Windows 98 style window, and the language models run on your own computer instead of a server somewhere.

I built this version because I missed having a friendly little helper on my screen, and because running AI locally should feel fun, not intimidating. Download it, pick a model, and say hi.

Clippy AI for Mac, Windows and Linux

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.

Simple, familiar, and classic chat interface. Send messages to your models, get a response.
Batteries included: No complicated setup. Just open the app and chat away. Thanks to llama.cpp and node-llama-cpp, the app will automatically discover the most efficient way to run your models (Metal, CUDA, Vulkan, etc).
Custom models, prompts, and parameters: Load your own downloaded models and play with the settings.
Clipboard quick actions: Right-click Clippy to explain, summarize, translate or rewrite the text on your clipboard.
Offline, local, free: Everything runs on your computers. The only network request Clippy makes is to check for updates (which you can disable).

Clippy is not affiliated with, approved by, or supported by Microsoft. It's not trying to be the smartest chatbot out there, just a fun, nostalgic way to run AI on your own computer.
