Alice is an open-source AI companion, designed to live on a user's desktop.

Built with Electron, Vue, Pinia, Vite, and TypeScript. Alice brings together voice interaction, intelligent context awareness (deep memory system), powerful tooling (function calling, MCP, computer use, cron tasks), and a friendly personality to assist you with everything from daily tasks to more complex creative work.

Alice is more than a chatbot — she’s built to feel present, responsive, emotionally engaging, and deeply useful.
