Background & Client Profile
Who: HeyAlice is a desktop AI assistant application built for developers, founders, creative professionals, and technical teams who want full control over their AI experience.
Pain Points:
Existing AI tools are often cloud-based and compromise privacy.
Users need to juggle multiple workflows and tools to automate tasks.
Maintaining identity and extensibility across platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux) is challenging.

Build a modular architecture where users can create multiple assistant personalities (or “Assistants”) with unique skills.
Design a clean, intuitive Framer UI that accommodates snippets, shortcut-driven workflows, and an assistant library, all while being performant across OS platforms.
