About Alice

Alice is the company formerly known as ActiveFence, renamed in January 2026 as it moved from content moderation toward securing AI models and applications.

Its WonderSuite covers red teaming before launch, custom guardrails that enforce a company's own policies at runtime, and continuous red teaming in production. These draw on Rabbit Hole, an adversarial intelligence dataset built from years of tracking online abuse.

The company says it works with eight of the ten leading model labs, with Anthropic, Google, and Cohere named in coverage. It is co-headquartered in New York and Tel Aviv, with most of its roughly 400 staff in Israel.
