AIlice is a general-purpose autonomous agent that runs from the terminal or a web interface. It can read and analyze documents, conduct focused research, write and execute scripts, perform system-administration tasks, and support voice interaction. Cloud models impose few local hardware demands, but the project says effective local use generally needs a model of at least 70B parameters and two RTX 4090 GPUs, with Ubuntu offering the best compatibility.

Ask about a topic and last30days searches recent discussions across Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and the wider web, then synthesizes cited findings using signals such as votes, comments, or market odds. It can fall back to web-only research without keys, while richer sources require your own API credentials, browser sessions, or helper tools, and it runs in many Agent Skills hosts or as a Claude Desktop MCP bundle.

Onyx is a self-hosted AI workspace for teams that want to use different LLMs through one interface and ground answers in organizational knowledge. It can index application data through more than 50 connectors or connect agents to external systems through MCP, with additional support for research workflows and code execution. Lite mode keeps a smaller chat-and-agents stack, while the standard deployment adds vector and keyword indexes plus background synchronization workers for a fuller knowledge workflow.

Scientific Agent Skills packages 148 reusable skills and access paths to more than 100 scientific databases across biology, chemistry, medicine, drug discovery, materials science, and scientific computing. It follows the open Agent Skills standard and can be installed in Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other compatible agents for multi-step research workflows.
