Alice (formerly Alice Automation)
Alice is a native desktop automation assistant you summon with a hotkey from whatever app you are in. Version 5.0 extends MCP server support and remote actions so you can chat with leading models, install reusable assistants, and trigger work in Zapier, Make, n8n, or your CRM without opening a browser tab.
Browser chat tools excel at one-off answers; Alice is built around saved skills and assistants that stay on your machine. Install from a library of 50+ prebuilt assistants with 200+ skills, or build your own that reads a local CSV, drafts outreach, and adds a follow-up task from a single keystroke. That keyboard-first, action-oriented setup is the trade-off: less suited to long research sessions, stronger when you repeat the same workflows all day.
Alice supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and Groq in one interface. Subscription plans from $16 per month include AI tokens; the $299 lifetime license lets you bring your own API keys. Conversations, documents, and preferences stay local, with offline model support for users who want maximum privacy.
It is built for founders, creators, and knowledge workers who live in shortcuts and want AI that executes tasks, not just answers questions. The app runs on macOS, with Windows and Linux builds available in beta.
