Getting Started 👋
Setup API keys
Adding API keys unlocks models of the given provider. Alice supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, Groq, Perplexity, DeepSeek and connections with your own server that follows the same schema as OpenAI Completion API.
To add API key:
Open Settings (CMD + ,)
Scroll to AI Connections
Click Add Standard Provider
Paste your API key for the provider you want
API keys are encrypted and stored locally on your device.
OpenAI API Key
Provide access to GPT models, audio features and enhanced memory search feature.
ChatGPT and the OpenAI API are separate services. This means Alice can't connect to ChatGPT, and your ChatGPT subscription isn't related to the Alice app. You need to register an account on platform.openai.com and add at least $5 of credits. You can add credits to your account on platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview.
Go to the platform.openai.com/api-keys and generate new secret key. You can pick any name you want.
The generated API key can be added in the Alice app in the "OpenAI API Key" field.
Note: If you have a new account, there's a chance you'll need to wait a couple of minutes for it to fully activate.
Anthropic API key
Provide access to Claude models.
Similar to ChatGPT and the OpenAI Platform, Claude.ai and console.anthropic.com are separate services, and you'll still need an API key, even if you have a Claude.ai subscription.
You need to register an account on console.anthropic.com and add at least $5 of credits, which you can do at console.anthropic.com/settings/billing.
Once your billing is set up, you can go to console.anthropic.com/settings/keys and generate a new key. You'll need to set this up in the Alice app under Settings → General.
xAI
Provide access to Grok models.
If you'd like to use the Grok model from xAI, the process is roughly the same. Simply go to console.x.ai and set up your account, charging it with at least $5 in credits. Then, generate an API key and add it to the Alice app.
Gemini
Provide access to Gemini models.
Gemini models are available through Google AI Studio where you can generate API key and setup billing.
Groq
Groq offers a very fast inference speed, but only for open-source models, which lag behind commercial ones. You can't expect the same performance from them as from models from OpenAI or Anthropic.
At the same time, Groq's service has a free tier plan you can try. All you need to do is register an account on console.groq.com, generate an API key, and add it to the Alice app.
