I’ve been following these posts on Alice for a while and am very interested. Currently I use Make.com a lot for managing the backend of a Wordpress e-commerce site. Also for sending dashboard-style notifications to team-only telegram groups to keep an eye on activity (sales etc). The OpenAI module is useful. But I haven’t been able to get much headway with personal automations. For those, I want self hosting so I was more interested in n8n, but it’s less user friendly. Very interested in Alice, it sounds something like raycast, but has an LLM input to its command set?
Setting up automations that are ready to receive JSON and then using AI to write those sounds super useful. I think what I’m looking for in something like Alice is to reduce the mental effort and time in setting up an automation. Being able to quickly go from idea to automation. Also one thing that stops me from setting up more automations is seeing how many edge cases there can be and how error handling adds a lot of overhead to maintaining a set of automations.
Alice could prove to be quite useful for you. Most of the time, we stick to pretty simple scenarios so there's not much debugging. But we also have some more advanced, also using OpenAI module in make. There's quite a lot to it to explain, glad you've signed up for our potential cohort, fingers crossed we'll make it happen. For the time being I also think that Everyday Automated e-book can give you a lot of inspiration for personal automations!

Thanks for the comment, Andrew!
