What is Alice?

Alice is a really powerful AI assistant that runs right on your desktop. It gives you quick and reliable access to a bunch of different AI models, like OpenAI, Perplexity, and Claude, among others. With Alice, you can chat with these AI assistants, create and use your own custom templates called Snippets, connect with other apps using Remote Actions, easily switch between different AI models, process images, use your voice to dictate and listen to responses, and really tailor the user experience with things like keyboard shortcuts. Alice also cares about your privacy – it keeps your chat history stored locally. It works with the latest versions of Windows and macOS. What makes Alice stand out from other AI assistants is its focus on desktop use, the flexibility to use many different AI models, its customizable Snippets, the ability to integrate with apps, its strong privacy features, the promise of regular updates, and the option for a lifetime license.
