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 πŸ˜…) 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: πŸš€ 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. πŸ”— 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. πŸ”’ 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. πŸ–₯️ 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 β†’ 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 πŸ™

πŸ’‘ Bright idea

Huge congrats to the whole team!! πŸš€ Been following your journey and the grind β€” really impressive to see it all come together.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve broken my flow tabbing over to ChatGPT just to copy/paste something back. Alice looks like such a clean solution to that. Love the hotkey summon idea, and the privacy-first approach makes it even better. Can’t wait to give it a spin!

Greg Rog

@kamila_dabrowska thanks so much! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the new version 😊

I've been using Alice since its inception. I look at its evolution, although in the beginning, it was more of a revolution.

I'm looking at the way @gregrog and @overment, I'm looking at how both of them think about "what to do to make Alice even more accessible to the 'average user" and at the same time maximally efficient for any "heavy user".

I keep my fingers crossed for the further development of this project and invite you to support it!

Greg Rog

@overmentΒ  @konrad_pilarski1Β thanks so much! It's very motivating!

🧐 Good find

Congratulations on the new version! I've been using Alice for six months, and it has truly been a game-changer for my productivity. While it may seem like a simple ideaβ€”combining a chat app with Shortcuts and the macOS systemβ€”it effectively reduces the friction between contemplating tasks and actually completing them βœ….

You can receive immediate personalized support for research, learning, problem-solving, and writingβ€”all just a few clicks away. πŸ’ŽπŸš€

@paczkowΒ Thanks so much! It really means a lot for us, happy that you've managed to get so much value from Alice in that time πŸ™

😹 LOL

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?

Greg Rog

@marcin_polacikΒ haha was Alice involved? Great comment badge coming!
