It came preinstalled with [[wikipedia:Microsoft_Windows|Windows]] beginning with [[wikipedia:Windows_98|Windows 98]]. Microsoft Agent continued to release alongside all Windows versions until [[wikipedia:Windows_7|Windows 7]] in 2009, following Microsoft's discontinuation of Microsoft Agent.

Microsoft Agent allowed for users of the software to make characters through the [[Microsoft Agent Character Editor]]. Four default characters were made by Microsoft on the original page, including Genie, Merlin, Peedy, and Robby. Some other notable characters are those featured in the [[wikipedia:Microsoft_Office|Microsoft Office suite]] throughout 1997 to 2003, including Clippy, Dot, or Office Logo. The Windows XP search assistants are also Microsoft Agents, including Rover. Another mentionable Microsoft Agent is Bonzi, a purple gorilla that came bundled [[BonziBuddy|BonziBUDDY]] until its discontinuation. The Bonzi character later received a lot of attention after being a meme following multiple meme videos on it before [https://vinesauce.fandom.com/wiki/Joel Vinesauce Joel] eventually streamed an XP destruction causing the popularity of the Bonzi character to rise.

Afterwards, many small meme-lord communities existed making meme content out of the Bonzi MS Agent, before eventually dying out.
