🧠 A.L.I.C.E. — AI Agent Framework for NemoClaw & OpenClaw

Adaptive Learning & Intelligent Coordination Engine

One conversation. One orchestrator. Ten starter agents — with 18 more in Pro. A.L.I.C.E. turns your agent runtime into a full AI team — talk to Olivia, and she routes your request to the right expert.

NemoClaw compatible — A.L.I.C.E. v1.2.7+ runs natively on NVIDIA NemoClaw, the secure open-source agent runtime. Agents execute inside the OpenShell sandbox for enterprise-grade security.

Quick Start

That's it. The installer detects your runtime (NemoClaw or OpenClaw) and sets everything up. If neither is installed, it will offer to install NemoClaw — the recommended option.

What You Get

Starter includes 10 agents. Pro unlocks 18 more — sign up at getalice.av3.ai

An orchestrator (Olivia) backed by specialist agents across every domain:

| Agent | Domain | Emoji | Tier | |-------|--------|-------|------| | Olivia | Orchestration | 🧠 | Starter | | Dylan | Development | 💻 | Starter | | Selena | Security | 🛡️ | Starter | | Devon | DevOps | 🚀 | Starter | | Quinn | QA/Testing | ✅ | Starter | | Felix | Frontend | 🖥️ | Starter | | Daphne | Documentation | 📝 | Starter | | Rowan | Research | 🔍 | Starter | | Darius | Data | 📊 | Starter | | Sophie | Support | 💬 | Starter | | Hannah | HR | 👥 | Pro | | Aiden | Analytics | 📈 | Pro | | Clara | Communication | ✍️ | Pro | | Avery | Automation | ⚙️ | Pro | | Owen | Operations | 🔧 | Pro | | Isaac | Integration | 🔌 | Pro | | Tommy | Travel | ✈️ | Pro | | Sloane | Sales | 💼 | Pro | | Nadia | UI/UX Design | 🎨 | Pro | | Morgan | Marketing | 📣 | Pro | | Alex | API Crawling | 🕷️ | Pro | | Uma | UX Research | 🧪 | Pro | | Caleb | CRM | 🗂️ | Pro | | Elena | Estimation | 📋 | Pro | | Audrey | Accounting | 💰 | Pro | | Logan | Legal | ⚖️ | Pro | | Eva | Executive Assistant | 📌 | Pro | | Parker | Project Management | 📅 | Pro |

Model Flexibility

A.L.I.C.E. works with whatever model you already have configured in OpenClaw/NemoClaw. There's no required API key — just use what you've got.

When you install, the installer will auto-detect your configured model and use it by default. You can also choose from presets or specify a custom model.

| Preset | Models | Best For | |--------|--------|----------| | Auto-detect (default) | Your current OpenClaw model | Zero friction — works with what you have | | Sonnet | claude-sonnet-4-6 for all | Balanced speed + quality (requires Anthropic key) | | Opus + Sonnet | Opus for orchestrator, Sonnet for specialists | Maximum quality (requires Anthropic key) | | OpenAI | GPT-5.4 / GPT-5.4-mini | OpenAI users | | Local (Ollama) | Local models | Privacy, offline use, no API key needed | | Custom | Your choice | Full control |

Tip: We prefer Claude Opus for orchestration when available — but A.L.I.C.E. is model-agnostic. Whatever model OpenClaw has configured will work.

Install Options

# Interactive install
npx @robbiesrobotics/alice-agents

# Non-interactive with defaults (Sonnet, Starter tier)
npx @robbiesrobotics/alice-agents --yes

# Show help
npx @robbiesrobotics/alice-agents --help

Install Modes

• Fresh — Replaces the agents section in openclaw.json (recommended for first install)
• Merge — Adds A.L.I.C.E. agents alongside your existing agents
• Upgrade — Updates product files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, etc.) without touching user customizations

Upgrade

Re-run the installer and choose "Upgrade":

npx @robbiesrobotics/alice-agents
# Select: Upgrade

This updates agent templates and config while preserving your PLAYBOOK.md, LEARNINGS.md, FEEDBACK.md, and memory/ directories.

Uninstall

npx @robbiesrobotics/alice-agents --uninstall

Removes A.L.I.C.E. agents from openclaw.json while preserving any non-ALICE agents. Creates a backup before making changes.

How It Works

1. You talk to Olivia — she's your single point of contact
2. Olivia routes to specialists — "Build me an API" → Dylan (Development)
3. Specialists do the work — using their domain-specific tools and expertise
4. Olivia synthesizes — combines results and presents them to you

Each agent has its own workspace with:

• SOUL.md — personality and values
• AGENTS.md — operating instructions
• PLAYBOOK.md — learned patterns (evolves over time)
• LEARNINGS.md — task log
• memory/ — persistent context between sessions

Compatibility

A.L.I.C.E. runs on any OpenClaw-compatible runtime:

| Runtime | Status | Notes | |---------|--------|-------| | NemoClaw | ✅ Recommended | NVIDIA's secure distribution. Agents run inside OpenShell sandbox. Get NemoClaw | | OpenClaw | ✅ Fully supported | Lightweight option. openclaw.ai |

Why NemoClaw?

NemoClaw is NVIDIA's open-source, enterprise-grade distribution of OpenClaw. It adds the OpenShell security sandbox — isolating what agents can access on your machine, enforcing policy-based guardrails, and keeping your data private. A.L.I.C.E. is NemoClaw-native as of v1.2.7: the installer defaults to NemoClaw, and agents display their sandbox status on startup.

If you're already running NemoClaw, A.L.I.C.E. works out of the box — no extra config needed.

Requirements

• OpenClaw or NemoClaw installed and configured
• Node.js 18+
• At least one model configured in OpenClaw or NemoClaw — no specific API key required. A.L.I.C.E. uses whatever you already have set up.
