It's not clippy, but Microsoft has added "suggested styling" to Powerpoint, and I let it re-layout my pages, and the results are beautiful. It sees your page and suggests a layout, which you can choose to accept.
You know what feature I want? The ability to "upgrade" any text that matches some specific set of properties (eg. "Font size > 12, bold") and apply a particular style to it. People create all kinds of horrifying fucked up Word documents with DIY manual formatting, and cleaning it up can be a huge chore.
People don't seem to realize that Word (and LibreOffice Writer) is actually a pretty good document processing and typesetting program, for when you want more features than Markdown/Adoc/rST but you don't need the meticulous precise control of *Tex. But you need to use features like footers, styles, cross-references, etc.
Microsoft has also added "suggested phrasing", which prioritizes concision even when it removes deliberately inserted uncertainty. In some cases, following its suggestions wouldn't even have resulted in coherent sentences. For a sentence of the form "Do $X, unless $VAR is true." had the recommend replacement "Do $X, unless $VAR.".
> For a sentence of the form "Do $X, unless $VAR is true." had the recommend replacement "Do $X, unless $VAR.". //
Was your actual sentence "Do $activity, unless $condition is true." (with $activity as say 'print the annual report' and $condition as 'Steve has printed it')? I'm struggling to see how the result wasn't coherent. Something like "Do P&L, unless Wednesday" is terse, but not hard to parse; I must be missing something?
I tried to look back to find the exact example, but couldn't find anywhere that I had written it down. It was something where the $condition was a single word, referring to a boolean variable, but was not itself an adjective. By removing the "is true" clause, the clause was left without a verb, and without an antecedent.
It's explained badly here, but it works well:

I think there is room for a good "AI" companion that runs when you're in Word, or Powerpoint. (Maybe not Excel.)
