Alice Agent: An Open-Source AI Agent That Runs in Your Terminal

Alice Agent is a self-improving AI agent that runs locally, persists memory across sessions, and supports 20+ messaging platforms.

Alice Agent is an open-source AI agent designed to run on your machine — not in someone else’s cloud. It connects to any model provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, local Ollama), remembers context across sessions, and can be extended with skills.

Why Local-First Matters

Most AI assistants send your data to remote servers. Alice Agent runs entirely on your hardware. Your code, your conversations, your memory — nothing leaves your machine unless you choose an external model provider.

What Alice Can Do

  • Persistent memory: Facts, preferences, and project context survive across sessions
  • 20+ messaging platforms: Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and more — all from a single gateway process
  • Scheduled tasks: Cron jobs that run prompts, scripts, or skills autonomously
  • Subagents: Spawn isolated workers for parallel tasks
  • Skills system: Reusable procedural memory that improves with use

Getting Started

curl -fsSL https://alice-agent.stuko.dev/install.sh | bash

That’s it. Alice detects your OS, installs dependencies, and drops you into a conversation. Configure your model provider with alice setup and you’re ready.

Open Source, MIT Licensed

Alice Agent is free to use, modify, and self-host. The code is on GitHub.
