liveA customizable Android assistant for multiple AI models
Details
Aide is an Android app that allows users to replace their default assistant with any OpenAI-compatible model, such as Claude or ChatGPT.

- •AI model developers
- •Privacy-focused users
Why this one made the cut
Aide gives Android users control over which AI model they use as an assistant, promoting privacy since messages don't route through the service. It allows users to leverage their preferred AI models and API keys directly on their devices.
What makes it different
Unlike default Android assistants that use specific models or APIs, Aide allows any OpenAI-compatible model with the user's own API key. This BYOK (bring your own key) approach provides greater flexibility and control over AI assistant functionality.
