I felt that Microsoft Copilot, formerly known as Office, could use a mascot. So I asked Copilot to design something in the spirit of Clippy.

Let me introduce you to Sloppy, a cheerful slightly gooey assistant with glasses and a headset.

@Dany I thought: let's make a quick suggestion to improve Sloppy. I'm not sure wether I succeeded or not.

@SnowyCA @BaronWalschap If office is not to be rebranded as Copilot, then they shouldn't write that on their website. I cannot read "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)" in any other way.

Wording and phrasing is important, and if they are indeed not intending to blanket rename Office to Copilot they should have written better text. They supposedly have this big expensive superior language model to help them with that. So that is an extra failure they are responsible for.

AI isn't all it is promised to be, that's for sure.
