Aide
Replaces the default Android assistant with a customizable AI assistant that supports on-device chat, web search, voice commands, device actions, and smart home control.
Aide is an Android assistant that replaces the default assistant and includes a built-in on-device AI model for private chat and web search without an API key or account. It targets individual consumers and developers who want privacy and flexibility, as well as businesses needing customizable AI. It differentiates by offering bring-your-own-key support for Claude, ChatGPT, local Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with all data staying on-device or going directly to the chosen provider.
