Peedy could handle requests like "What do you have by Madonna?" and "Play something classical", and Peedy would issue follow up questions when necessary. Peedy was engaging, with some humor and high production values thanks to Tim Skelly on animation and David Thiel on audio. Yes, that's David Thiel's voice in the Peedy videos. I am sure that he doesn't want that widely shared, but this is only the World Wide Web. Two videos of Peedy are also linked below, including one made for the CHI '95 paper, and another of the Peedy demo in Bill Gates' 1995 Winter CES speech. That's Gene Ball up on stage with Bill.</div><div></div><div></div><div>PeedypeedyPronunciaitonpidiSpeciesparrotGendermaleAge18StatusaliveAffilationgoodLikesBonziDislikes.exe charactersFriendsBonziEnemiesNeedle, Mimi, Kate, .exe charactersPeedy is a parrot from the BonziBUDDY show.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Peedy- a Microsoft Agent.

Later versions of BonziBuddy in May 2000 featured its own character: Bonzi, a purple gorilla.[5] The program also used a text-to-speech voice to interact with the user. The voice was called Sydney and taken from an old Lernout & Hauspie Microsoft Speech API 4.0 package. It is often referred to in some software as Adult Male #2.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Microsoft Agent Technology works by using animated characterswho speak and read text aloud in a human-sounding voice. There are fourof these characters from Microsoft. They are; Peedy (a parrot), Robby(a robot), Genie (a genie), and Merlin (a wizard). NELLA_WARE uses thecharacter Merlin in Civil War Quotes, Notes, and Facts. LaCantocheProductions has developed a Microsoft Agent character named James.James is used in Civil War Books: Robert E. Lee and in Sherlock Holmes- A Library.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you want to test and see if Microsoft Agent is running properly onyour computer, you can select the below link and visit a web page onMicrosoft's web site which will display ''Peedy'' (he is a parrot, andone of the Microsoft Agent characters).
