What is Alice?
Alice is a powerful, customizable AI assistant application that goes beyond simple chat interfaces. It's designed for developers, founders, and technical teams who want complete control over their AI experience.
Unlike conventional AI assistants, Alice allows you to create custom AI features, build automated workflows, and connect AI to your entire tech stack—all while keeping your data private with a local-first approach.
Custom AI Assistants
Create specialized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks, roles, or workflows:
Personalized Instructions: Define exactly how each assistant should think and respond
Specialized Knowledge: Train assistants on specific domains or projects
Multiple Models: Choose from GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, Perplexity, Groq, Llama, and other models
Custom Personalities: Shape the tone, style, and approach of each assistant
Deep Integration & Automation
Connect Alice to your entire tech stack for true AI automation:
API Integration: Connect to any API or service
Webhook Support: Trigger actions in external services
Make/Zapier Connection: Build complex multi-step workflows
Custom Actions: Define your own automation sequences
Background Processing: Run automations while you focus on other tasks
Privacy & Local-First Approach
Keep your data secure and private:
Local Processing: All conversations stay on your device
Offline Models: Use local models like Ollama without internet
Your API Keys: Bring your own API keys for cloud models
No Data Sharing: Your conversations are never used for training
Developer-Focused Design
Built with technical users in mind:
API-First Architecture: Extend Alice with your own code
Custom Features: Build your own AI capabilities
Global Keyboard Shortcuts: Access from anywhere in your system
Clipboard Integration: Process text from any application
Flexible Configuration: Modify every aspect of Alice's behavior
Productivity Tools
Boost your workflow with built-in productivity features:
Snippets: Create and reuse prompt templates
Keyboard Shortcuts: Trigger actions without breaking flow
Background Operation: Keep Alice running while you work
File Handling: Process and analyze files with AI
Multi-Context Conversations: Maintain multiple conversation threads
