A native desktop AI assistant that turns any app into a one-hotkey workflow.
Open Alice from anywhere in your operating system with a single keyboard shortcut instead of switching tabs to a chatbot.
Chat with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Groq and others from a unified interface, using your own API keys when you want to optimize cost.
Install from 50+ ready-made assistants and 200+ skills, or create your own reusable assistants for sales, QA, content, and meetings.
Connect assistants to tools such as Zapier, Make and n8n so a plain-language request can update a CRM or generate a report.

An extendable launcher that puts your tools, AI, and automations one keystroke away
Open apps, run commands, and search files from a single hotkey, with thousands of community extensions connecting the services you already use.
Chat with leading AI models, call Quick AI from any app, and let AI Extensions act on your connected tools to finish multi-step tasks.
Browse everything you have copied and insert frequently used text or addresses by simply typing a keyword.
Create shortcuts that launch URLs, run scripts, or trigger commands, and assign hotkeys or aliases to the actions you repeat most.
