What is Alice?

Alice is like a special kind of robot that helps people do cool things on the internet.

Imagine you have a toy car that you can control with your phone, that’s kind of what Alice does, but for grown-ups. Alice listens to what people say and then helps them write messages, answer questions, or even play games. It's like having a smart friend who never gets tired of helping you.

Alice uses something called language, just like you use words to talk with your friends. When someone speaks to Alice, it listens carefully and tries to understand what they're saying. Then it thinks about the best way to respond, just like you do when you’re trying to figure out what to say next.

Sometimes Alice makes mistakes, just like you might mix up your words when you're excited. But that's okay, it keeps learning and getting better every day, so it can help even more people.

Alice is not a person, it’s a computer program, but it feels almost like one because it talks to us in such a friendly way!
