Personal Agent 'Alice' gamifies onboarding like a virtual pet game, reviewer finds
vista8 · x · 2026-10-21
Blogger vista8 reviews Alice (alice.fans), a Personal Agent from a friend's team that stands apart from mainstream AI office assistants:
- Gamified onboarding: an 8-step, zero-typing flow featuring an anime persona (26, raised in Macau, HKU business degree), wardrobe swaps, letters and tarot readings—even prompting users to delete leftover installer files to save disk space. The author calls it the most interesting Agent onboarding he's seen.
- Nurturing gameplay: users grant Alice virtual funds to live and travel in a 2D world; the UI includes wardrobe, travel, and budget modules with live status (e.g. 'traveling in Hangzhou').
- Greets users in Korean and Cantonese; the founder's game-PM background is credited for the design.
- Context: the Personal Agent space is heating up, with Grok Bot, Muse, TodayAI, Doubao Work, Workbuddy and Qwen Office all competing.
Screenshots show the app supports multiple selectable models including DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, Qwen3.8, Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3.
