So this might be a more niche case, but I would like to discuss it nonetheless. First a little background, Microsoft Agent was a technology developed in the late 90s that was discontinued in 2009. It was used by the Windows XP OOBE and many PC programs, but most notably Microsoft Office and BonziBuddy.
Though still a Microsoft trademark, it was fairly open, with a developer tool known as MACE being released by Microsoft themselves. With this technology, many small studios were able to make their own animated Agent characters and programs, and while it never became a mainstream thing, it had a considerable community, most notably the Microsoft Agent Web Ring. This ring contained a lot of websites owned by MS Agent creators from many parts of the world, one of them being the Agent TaskForce HQ, owned by a British company known as Agent TaskForce Ltd.
Their gimmick was that they made software based on tasks such as the weather, world news, gaming news, stuff like that. They made around 11 MS Agent characters along with their respective programs (the difference is that the characters are .ACS files and the programs are regular .exe launchers) which were free to download on their website, though they also had an option to purchase them. The company dissolved in 2003 because of financial issues, with their website also going down. It has been mostly archived in the Wayback Machine, I say mostly because the download links were not, and at the time of writing this I haven't found any backup of these files.
As of now, only a few of the characters that they've made have been found and uploaded to the internet, but a lot of them are still lost somewhere and there are no leads. I have tried to contact a man who worked as a secretary in ATF, but he told that he doesn't have these files anymore, so I'm stuck in a dead end. I know this is a pretty obscure topic and that finding the missing material is unlikely, but I just wanted to share this information because of how unknown this topic seems to be.
If you would like to see their website, check it out in the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20010405084025/http://agenttaskforce.co.uk
