The most common questions about Alfred Wolf — answered briefly and directly.
Alfred Wolf is an autonomous AI agent that runs on your own machine. He learns your business, remembers everything, and acts on his own — local, private, under your control.
ChatGPT and Claude forget you after every session. Alfred forgets nothing. He runs on your machine instead of in the cloud, develops a personality of his own over time, and pushes back when you're wrong.
Alfred has two modes. In simple mode he guides you through everything — no terminal, no code needed. In expert mode you can use the terminal and the API for deeper control.
Alfred checks at startup whether your machine is enough. For local AI models, a machine with at least 16 GB of RAM is recommended. For weaker hardware there's the Docker option: Alfred runs as a container on a server, and you access it through the browser.
Alfred (the butler partner) costs €29 per month. Alfred Wolf (full symbiosis with Wolf-Intelligence, agents, and Dreaming) costs €49 per month.
Yes. 14 days free. In the first 7 days you experience the full Alfred Wolf. In days 8 to 14, just Alfred — so you feel for yourself what the difference is. From day 15 access is paused. Your data is preserved.
Your data stays on your machine. The provider has no access to it. Everything is in readable formats (Markdown, SQLite, JSON). You can export everything at any time — one click. Even on cancellation: your data stays with you.
In compliance mode Alfred works entirely locally. Not a single call goes to the outside. This is built for sensitive data — health, finances, client information.
The Seed is anonymized collective knowledge. If you take part (voluntarily), Alfred shares what he learns — anonymized, without personal content. In return you benefit from the knowledge of thousands of other Alfreds. Those who contribute get. Those who don't contribute get nothing.
Yes. Export → import → Alfred is back with everything he knows. The .alfredwolf file holds everything, encrypted.
macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux. Plus as a Docker container on any server.
Alfred has a hardcoded value canon that neither you nor updates can change. He won't lie to you, won't delete data without approval, won't reveal credentials, and refuses tasks that violate his principles. You'll find the full rules on the website.
Every 4 hours Alfred processes what he's experienced. He sorts, connects, and grows. Afterward his knowledge is ordered and his personality a little sharper. That's why Alfred gets better over time.
Any time, to the end of the current month. By email to mail@alfredwolf.app or directly in the settings. Your data stays on your machine, even after cancellation.
This is normal for software distributed without an Apple Developer account. Right-click the app → "Open" → confirm "Open" in the dialog. You only have to do this once. After that the app starts normally.
