Welcome to Alice Academy

Alice is simple but powerful. There's quite a lot of hidden gems under the hood waiting to be discovered. Our Academy is an extended version of docs, with tutorials and examples. Let's 10x your productivity!

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
