Alice is a desktop app for macOS, Windows & Linux that lets you chat with leading AI models, deploy Assistants and chat to your apps MCP and automations. Version 4.0 marks the biggest leap in our 4 year productivity journey.
Hello Again Fam! 😻
Greg here, co-founder of Alice.
After months of using ChatGPT and testing endless AI tools, I kept running into the same frustrating workflow:
1. Working on something important
2. Need AI help
3. Cmd+Tab to browser
4. Find the ChatGPT tab (among 47 other tabs 😅)
5. Provide context from scratch
6. Wait, wait more... copy response
7. Navigate back to my work
8. Paste the response
9. Realize I lost my train of thought...
Sound familiar?
That's why we built Alice as a native desktop app, not another web interface.
While everyone else is alt-tabbing to ChatGPT, Alice users summon their AI with a single hotkey - instantly, from anywhere. No context switching.
What makes Alice different:
🚀 Instant Access - Summon Alice with a hotkey from any app. Your AI assistant appears as an overlay, responds, and disappears. All in seconds.
⚡ Build Custom AI Assistants - Create specialized assistants that remember your context, documents, and preferences. Train them once, use them forever.
🔗 App Integration - Use MCP servers to chat to your apps, or connect to Zapier, Make, and custom APIs. Alice doesn't just answer questions - it executes workflows, analyzes local files, and automates repetitive tasks.
🔒 Privacy First - Everything stays local on your device. Use your own API keys for OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and more. Your data never leaves your machine and you can even use offline models.
🖥️ Native Performance - Not a simple web wrapper. Alice is built native for macOS, Windows, and Linux. From idea to execution in milliseconds.
Version 4.0 marks the biggest leap in our 4-year journey:
・ There's tons of advanced features like MCP, Docs, Remote Actions and more
・ We've built a library of 50+ readymade assistants with 200+ skills
With flexible pricing:
・ You can still buy Alice one-time and use with your API keys
・ There's also subscription starting at $8 / mo with all leading models
Alice is now completely FREE to try for 3 weeks at → https://heyalice.app

I can't wait to hear your feedback and thoughts of how we can improve Alice, or what apps / workflows you'd like to automate with AI?
Thanks 🙏
