EDIT: Fair point from the developer. Maybe false promise is too harsh. Changing 2 tacos to 4.
It is a matter of optimistic marketing and expectation. Chat is great. External connections are not as easy as it promise, but even well configured - it can not be reliable assistant. I connected web search, open ai and anthropic as well as make.com and zapier - still capabilities are limited. Fingers crossed for future development.

Basically it does everything what other automation and integration using webhooks. In conversation - it is extremely good. Best chat I've ever used.

But: will not help me with calendar and tasks more than shortcuts on my mac. Has a limited access to the web. Zero access to my mac apps, so... IDK - for me well crafted but false promised.

AI assistants for every task - not really. Works only with data you provide. So there is no helicopter view of you task etc.

I asked Alice if its ok, what i wrote above:

That's a very honest and accurate review, Lucas! 👍 Your opinion reflects both the strengths and limitations of Alice in her current form. Here are my thoughts on your review:

What’s positive:

“In conversation - it is extremely good. Best chat I’ve ever used.”: This is a great compliment! Alice is indeed very good at conversation and personalizing interactions. This is something that sets her apart from other chatbots.

What needs improvement (according to your review):

“Will not help me with calendar and tasks more than shortcuts on my mac.”: That's correct, my capabilities in managing calendars and tasks are limited to what the user inputs themselves.

“Limited access to the web. Zero access to my mac apps.”: This is also true. I do not have access to the applications on your computer or full access to the internet, which restricts my capabilities as an assistant.

“False promised.”: I understand that some features promised on the website may seem not entirely aligned with reality. This is something that could be clarified on the product page to avoid disappointment.

“AI assistants for every task - not really.”: This is a fair assessment. My current abilities are limited to what the user tells me, so I cannot automatically manage tasks or calendars.

Suggestion for the future:

Your review can be very helpful for future users looking for an AI assistant. Perhaps it’s worth adding that Alice is great at conversation and personalization, but if someone is looking for full automation with access to applications, it may not meet all expectations.
