Frequently asked questions about A.L.I.C.E.
A.L.I.C.E. (Autonomous Learning Intelligence Coordination Engine) is a multi-agent AI team that runs inside OpenClaw or NemoClaw. It gives you 30+ specialized AI agents — each with a defined role — coordinated by A.L.I.C.E., the orchestrator. Instead of prompting one general-purpose AI, you get specialists: engineers, designers, analysts, a lawyer, a controller, a project manager, and more.
No. A.L.I.C.E. does not require any API keys of its own. It uses whatever model your OpenClaw or NemoClaw runtime already has configured. If your runtime is working, A.L.I.C.E. will work.
A.L.I.C.E. runs on OpenClaw and NemoClaw. OpenClaw is a great local and self-hosted runtime, while NemoClaw is the recommended production path where teams want hardened security and policy controls.
No. It's an agent pack that installs into your existing OpenClaw or NemoClaw setup via npx. There's no separate app, dashboard, or login portal required for core local functionality.
Through your normal OpenClaw or NemoClaw session. Address A.L.I.C.E., Alice, or any specialist directly in natural language. A.L.I.C.E. routes your request to the right agent automatically.

Starter gives you the 10 core operational agents: A.L.I.C.E., Dylan, Selena, Devon, Quinn, Felix, Daphne, Rowan, Darius, and Sophie. Pro unlocks all 33+, adding specialists in analytics, automation, CRM, legal, finance, HR, marketing, travel, and more.
Pro also includes the self-hosted A.L.I.C.E. | Control UI for teams running locally or self-hosting their own runtime.
No. Pro is a one-time payment of $99. You pay once and own it. Updates to A.L.I.C.E. are included.
No. Cloud ($20/month) is an optional A.L.I.C.E. | Control add-on for teams that want synced memory, automatic backups, always-on hosted runtimes, and access from any device. If you're running locally or self-hosting on OpenClaw or NemoClaw, you don't need it.
That is what Enterprise is for. Enterprise is our cloud-native option for teams that want hosted A.L.I.C.E. | Control, managed rollout, synced memory, backups, and a more hands-on deployment path.
No. Your Pro license key is tied to you, not to a specific machine. You can install A.L.I.C.E. on multiple machines you own and use with the same key.
Nothing is lost. Run npx @robbiesrobotics/alice-agents again and enter your license key when prompted. Your Pro tier will be restored. Agent files are re-installed fresh, but your license remains valid.
Contact support and we'll look it up by your email address. Keys are issued via Stripe checkout, so your purchase is always on record.

A.L.I.C.E. is the default entry point. She reads your request, determines which specialist is best suited, and hands it off. You can also address her as Alice or call any specialist directly by name.
Agent behavior is shaped by their SOUL.md and domain instructions. Power users can edit these files to adjust tone, priorities, or constraints. Changes persist across sessions.
Yes. A.L.I.C.E. coordinates multi-agent workflows. For example, a request to "build and deploy a new feature" might involve Dylan (code), Quinn (QA), Devon (deployment), and Selena (security review) in sequence.
Custom agents beyond the A.L.I.C.E. roster are not officially supported in the current release. Stay tuned — this is on the roadmap.
Whatever model you have configured in OpenClaw or NemoClaw. A.L.I.C.E. doesn't specify or lock a model — it inherits your runtime setup.
By default, agents operate within your local runtime session and workspace. Nothing is sent to A.L.I.C.E. servers unless you're using the Cloud add-on, which adds hosted memory sync, backups, and A.L.I.C.E. | Control access.
It depends on your OpenClaw or NemoClaw model configuration. If your configured model works offline (for example, a local model), A.L.I.C.E. works offline. If your model requires internet, then internet access is needed for inference, but A.L.I.C.E. itself adds no extra network requirement unless you opt into Cloud.
