Some of the stuff on this page seems like it would be better suited on the Office Assistant article. Andrevan 00:31, 2004 June 30 (UTC)
The author of this page does not understand the Lumiere project of Microsoft Research which was quite different than the Office Assistant developed by a Microsoft product team. The research project was concerned about appropriate interruption from the very beginning and did not focus on character-based agents, but on providing the right assistance. Interested readers should see: http://research.microsoft.com/~horvitz/lumiere.htm
OK, Clippy is now more carefully set apart from Lumiere AlainV 08:01, 2004 Apr 6 (UTC)
Hello, I am a big fan of Microsoft Agents and I was turning all Office Assistants and Search Assistants into Agents like Merlin when I discovered an unknown agent character file in my computer, I copied it I pasted in Chars, so I can see it now on MASH. It is the question mark of Help and the name of its file is qmark. It is in System32/Oobe/Images. It has movement and actions like the other agents. If you search for all Microsoft Agent Character Files, you will find it (Windows XP)I am logged out know, but my account is Jomiarias, if you have something to tell me about this, write to jomiarias@yahoo.es. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.28.90.161 ( talk) 15:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
one of the links at the bottom of the page, "The Agnetry", leads to a under construction site. Please either fix the link, or remove it. The pointer outer 22:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I understand that links should not be added to promote a product. Clearly it could be argued that the link to "Planetvixen third party A.I program" has no place on Wikipedia since it serves no purpose except to promote a product. On the other hand the link to "Sunfire's Microsoft Agent Pages" is clearly a personal site (which seems to serve no purpose other than to promote a product) This argument doesn't even take into consideration the image of the Cynthia 3.0 A.I. Bot (which seems to have little or no relationship to Agent technology).
Our site at http://www.pippin.us has a UNIQUE, fully functional script unlike any other on the Internet which can also be FREELY copy and pasted to other websites. All things considered, I would sumerize the content on our site to be just as useful and any other for those that wish to learn more about the Microsoft Agent technology. We teach by example. Based on your explanation to why our site isn't included leads me to think that none of the websites you currently list should be included.
Ananova is a Web-oriented news service that originally featured a computer-simulated animation of a woman newscaster, named "Ananova," who had been programmed to "read" newscasts to Web users. The full page article at wikipedia reads that the animated Ananova character has been unavailable since sometime in 2004. Our website does it equally as well and our Microsoft Agent character is still reading newscast to web surfers freely after all these years. Does this mean the individual who thinks a simple link on the Microsoft agent page to our website is not appropriate is in process of writing up an entire page devoted to our little newscaster at http://www.pippin.us? - BruceCPippin 03:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed this paragraph, since it made no sense, and the link it referred to (

All of the external links recently removed have been in the article for several years, so why were they only just now remove? Comments to my private Talk page suggested I contributed all of the links, but I didn't. Only one of the external links was mine (the ACS/ACF/ACA spec), the rest of the links were contributed by other MSAgent users over the years. So why weren't their links removed at the time they were first contributed? Makes me think no other editors considered them in violation at the time.
In any case, I can understand wanting to remove links that promote 3rd party products. But at the very least, I think the link to DoubleAgent should be restored. Users reading this article about MSAgent and its history and discontinuation by Microsoft should be allowed to know that a replacement product exists which carries on MSAgent's legacy. Perhaps the same with the recent link for the repackaged MSAgent installer for Windows 8, too. These are relevant to MSAgent's history and continued use by end users.
I'd like to have the link to my technical spec restored too, since it is directly related to MSAgent'S technology. But if you feel it is not relevant to Wikipedia, so be it.

Hi!
This is to let you know that the link in the External links section is no good. It leads to nowhere.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.50.216.103 ( talk) 11:31, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
The article as it presently exists doesn't actually explain what these "Agents" helped with. This seems like it should be included on the article... FPTI ( talk) 14:38, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
