Alice Reviews

Wrote to the support that my account is locked (don't know why).

I got one e-amil about where I bought my license. After telling them I bought it on AppSumo, I heard nothing... very poor support.

Hi,

Lack of documentation & tutorials (+ existing doc is not up to date so different things with the installed app which is disturbing) + no support (email support never answer) + no local implementation steps (Ollama) + i often get into errors under windows for whatever chat, llm errors etc and nothing help to get ou of the issues, that's a recipe for a dead end (refund).

The marketing had me all starry-eyed, but the tool itself brought me back down to Earth—turns out it's just ChatGPT in a fancier outfit!

I give three tacos because I want to use it. It has several cool features needed on desktop but so do Triplo AI and Pismo, which also provide users with a base of free LLMS for use, not to mention the basic GPT 40 mini. Alice is expensive, and I consider keeping it only for its potential. What bothers me is the lack of responsiveness from the creators. Several people here have asked about Straico integration, but the developers ignore our requests or downplay its importance. I really don’t understand this. Others added the Straico API in a minute, and it worked great for the most important use case. This could save us money, so why not? There is no web access. One needs to pay $15 a month for the API. When you add up the other expenses on OpenAI and Perplexity, it can become quite costly even though it is useful with its several cool features.AI Credits? also quite expensive since they offer it at 15$ a month for 500 credits and it's not one credit for one message, it depends on the LLM used. this is of course their consideration and they have the right to do that, but I claim that we, as the end users, have also our consideration, some of them are also economic consideration.

I didn't discuss the automations, which are quite complicated for many users, but rather the basic features. If one wants Open Router, for some reason, it is only available on Tier 4, even though they said it would also be available on Tier 3, with no way to add it. If someone wants to install Alice AI on both computers and use them not at the same time, they need to pay for Tier 3 even if they don’t need all the expensive added features there. It could be useful at times, but I'm not sure if I will keep it for its Jarvis potential. Currently, there is still a lot of work to do. One aspect is the UI/UX. For example, the fonts cannot be adjusted or enlarged. At least there is a dark theme. this is always a good thing. I don't know what to decide currently. I have two months to see what will be the improvements and if there will be also an improvement in the responsiveness to our considerations as well. I hope to see some good change here .

I really like the implementation of agents and snippets. It allows me to really personalize my use and automate some use cases. Webhook calling is also amazing as it allows me to use n8n from within Alice.

Things i'd like to see in the future:
- Claude cache to reduce cost when using big reference materials.
- Claude artifacts/ChatGPT like canvas.
- Code interpreter capabilities.
- Sync agents/snippets between machines (I use 3 different Macs, and this is making me crazy).
