Alice

Alice

Summon a desktop productivity assistant from any app with a hotkey, without opening ChatGPT in a browser tab. Alice runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux, wrapping chat, custom assistants, document memory, and workflow triggers into one OS-level panel.

Where browser chat tools stop at answers, Alice is built around reusable assistants and one-click skills. The Assistant Store ships 50+ personas with 200+ installable skills, and version 5.0 added inline and threaded multi-agent modes plus ACP linking to Claude Code. MCP servers and MCP Apps let an assistant query your CRM or calendar in plain language, while Zapier, Make, n8n, and webhooks handle the follow-up actions.

You can bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, xAI, and other providers, or subscribe to Alice plans that bundle tokens for GPT-5, Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 4. Saved prompts become keyboard shortcuts, and the app supports voice input, text-to-speech, web search, vision, and local Ollama models.

Greg Rog and Adam Gospodarczyk at Techsistence in Warsaw built Alice after years of running their own automations. The product targets founders, creators, and small teams who want desktop-speed AI that can act on their software stack, not just draft text.
