Clippy, the former Microsoft Office assistant, shipped first in Office 97 to help users by providing writing suggestions and tips for using the software. However, it was poorly received by most Office users and was eventually killed off in favor of new features in Office 2007 for Windows and Office 2008 for Mac.

In 2019, a group of employees released a Clippy sticker pack onGitHub, but it disappeared a day later. This time around, it looks like Clippy is here to stay for good in Microsoft Teams, and the company is alsoplanning to replace the paperclip emoji with Clippyacross all Microsoft 365 apps and services.
