Getting Started

alice is a Slack-first ops automation tool that gives growing startups instant access to their Stripe revenue data and Supabase application data through slash commands, scheduled reports, and alert monitors. Instead of switching between dashboards, browser tabs, and SQL clients, your team runs a single command in Slack and gets formatted, actionable results in seconds.

How alice works

The core loop is straightforward:

1. Connect -- Link your Stripe account and Supabase project to alice via OAuth. No API keys to copy or rotate. See Connect Stripe and Connect Supabase for details.

2. Discover -- alice analyzes your connected sources and suggests relevant skills based on your actual data. It detects your Stripe plans, customer counts, Supabase tables, and column types to recommend queries that matter for your business.

3. Create skills -- Skills are saved queries that become Slack slash commands. Build them manually with the 6-step skill builder, pick from pre-built templates, or describe what you want in plain English and let AI generate the query.

4. Run from Slack -- Every skill gets a slash command. Type /alice mrr to see your MRR breakdown, /alice churn-risk to find at-risk accounts, or /alice signups --days=30 to check recent registrations. Results appear in Slack with formatted tables, summaries, and action buttons.

5. Automate -- Attach triggers to skills so they run without manual intervention. Schedule daily reports to a channel or set up monitors that alert you when thresholds are crossed.

What alice does not do

alice is purpose-built for operational queries and lightweight automation. It is not a replacement for full analytics dashboards, real-time streaming pipelines, or destructive account management:

• No destructive actions -- alice never cancels subscriptions, deletes users, issues refunds, or modifies billing. All available actions are safe by design.
• No real-time streaming -- Skills execute batch queries on demand or on a schedule. For sub-second event processing, use a dedicated streaming tool.
• No deep analysis -- alice surfaces key metrics and actionable data. For exploratory analytics with pivot tables and custom visualizations, use your existing BI tool.
