Show HN: Clippy – 90s UI for local LLMs
Customers I build AI chat features for also liken it to clippy. I think it’s a very common association.

I hope you accept that likening how it is intended, and I can't imagine that being a good thing. Clippy was universally panned. To me, I wouldn't be telling people that the thing I'm spending time working on was received as this generation's Clippy.

Clippy was panned because it was intrusive and offered very little real help, but the design and concept themselves were always popular.
