BYOK assistant · Android
One app.
Every model.
Replace your default Android assistant with Claude, ChatGPT, your local Ollama — or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own API key; your messages never route through us.
A closer look
Designed for every part of the day.
Chat, overlay, voice, and smart-home control — each surface tuned for how you actually use an assistant.
Why Aide
Your keys. Your provider. Your device.
The opposite of locked-in. Aide is a thin, fast client — the intelligence lives wherever you want it to.
Your keys, encrypted on-device
API keys are stored in Android Keystore with AES-256 hardware-backed encryption. Your conversations go directly from your phone to your provider — Aide's servers never see a single message.
Any model
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, local Ollama, LM Studio, custom endpoints. Switch at any time.
Default assistant
Swipe from the corner, hold the power button, or voice-invoke — like the one it replaces.
Device actions
Send texts, set alarms, create events, call contacts, open navigation — all voice-driven, all confirmed.
Smart home
Connect to Home Assistant. Ask Aide to dim the lights or arm the alarm.
Real-time web, when it matters
Aide augments any model with live web search and URL fetching. So "what's the weather" works on Claude, "summarize this article" works on GPT, and your local Ollama can suddenly read the internet.
Getting started
Three steps. Takes about a minute.
01
Paste a key
From Anthropic, OpenAI, or point to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (including your own).
02
Set as default
Aide walks you through replacing the built-in assistant in Android settings — one tap away.
03
Talk or type
Swipe from the corner, hold power, or open the app. Your new assistant is ready.
Pricing
Free to use. One-time upgrade, no subscription.
You pay your AI provider directly. Aide itself is as cheap as it can possibly be.
