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
Just give it a try!
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 🙏
Good morning everyone, on Windows the keyboard shortcuts do not work, and it is also not possible to put Alice in the traybar, therefore it becomes unusable as soon as the window is closed.
Using it daily, great app! Really recommend if you are looking for leveraging AI for about anything.
Congrats @gregrog@overment and the team. Fantastic product. I admire your grit and transparency. Don't stop!
Alice is a life saver and time saver! MCO integration + the amazing curated assistants are like cheat codes!
I've been with Alice almost since the very beginning when @gregrog and @overment introduced it in their program, "Automated" ("Zautomatyzowani"). It's an excellent application. I'm impressed by their work and faith in the continuous development of their product. I wholeheartedly recommend Alice. Congratulations👏.
Alice has transformed the way I handle tasks, making complex processes feel seamless and efficient. Its intuitive design and robust functionality ensure a smooth workflow.
My wife Kasia and my son Adam also use Alice as a family, and it's incredible🚀.
Warm regards,
Tomek
Loving V4 so far, still lots to explore. Having MCP's and access to all AI models is really making it a one stop app to get stuff done!
I've been using Alice for over 18 months and absolutely love it. I also buy licenses for all my VAs because it's such a productivity gain!
What really hooked me is the instant access to all LLMs without switching contexts or breaking my flow. The UI is perfect. I was using competitor app (AION) on the side, but with Alice's new docs feature for context engineering and personalized outputs, I could comfortably stick with Alice only.
Greg and Adam keep making Alice better, so I'm confident it'll only get stronger from here.
Alice is dope! Great tool, extensive feature set - become one of the essential parts of my AI toolbox :)
My go-to tool - every day - and love that it can interact with everything I do. Work, personal and everything in between. The updates have been pumping out and I still have to discover all the new features. These guys are offering a great interface as a daily Ai-companion. Early supporter (AppSumo) here and it has been great to see how the app has evolved and even more exciting to see where it is heading. Lots of competition out there, but Alice is getting more personal, more niche yet more broad. Stoked! And congrats!
I have been using Alice since 2023. Being able to switch between different LLMs is a great feature. When you add the different kinds of skills and the MCP server connection you have a great tool for work. There is only one problem my wife is sometimes jealous that I talk more with Alice than with her 😃
Congrats on this epic update and launch!!
I’ve been using Alice for a good few months now and love it. You guys are always adding new models and shipping the features we need 🔥🚀
It's great to see Alice at the top of the rankings! I use Alice daily, dozens, if not hundreds of times. Excellent product, excellent team, excellent community. It's like a knife and fork for working with AI - you can eat with your hands, but why would you?
I had a pleasure to use previous Alice version and assuming 4.0 can be only better, Im 100% hyped
