Clippy (actual name Clippit), was an avatar for the Office Assistant User Interface introduced in Office 97. It read the contents of your documents and would pop up and give you advice, and was basically an attempt at an intelligent agent, but 30 years ago.

It wasn’t nearly as sophisticated and invasive as the current bullshit, but that’s largely because the tech to be as sophisticated and invasive as the current bullshit didn’t exist in 1997.
