Layla v4.7.0 has been published!

Closer integration with the OS

This update brings Layla closer with the operating system! After you install Layla, you can find in context menus when you select any text in Android. You can choose to ask Layla to remember that text, putting it in her long-term memory, or send the text to Layla to chat with her. Layla can then explain, summarise, or remind you of it.



This feature will be expanded in the coming updates, giving you more control on what Layla does with the text. Some great ideas from our community:

  • Check grammar of selected text

  • Re-write selected text

  • Translate selected text (while loading a suitable multi-lingual LLM)


Layla will give you a new app where you can write your own instructions to utilise this feature as best it suits you!


Siri Integration (iOS Only)

Layla has been integrated with Siri!


Siri shortcut integration

Create your own shortcuts and send text to Siri! This feature will be expanded in the coming updates to give more features such as Layla replying, customising how the text is processed in Layla, and much more!


Background Inference (Android Only) redesign

The Background Inference widget has been removed. Now it integrates directly with the OS, showing up as a persistent notification. This should help with issues where the OS is killing the floating widget due to it using too much memory.


Redesigned RMI app

As more users are experimenting with trying out different models, the RMI (Raw Model Instructions) app has been redesigned to make it easier to switch between different models and prompts.

  • Your models are moved up to the top

  • Create custom prompts, name them to remember them easier

  • Popular models have their own logos!

  • Attach your custom prompts to your models so they are automatically applied when you switch


RMI app redesign

Full Changelog


New features:

Improvements:

  • added more configurable options for repetition control

  • added ability to share conversation history

  • added ability to edit & regen last message from loaded conversations

  • added ability to delete chat messages

  • added pagination and sorting in Personalities Hub

  • redesigned RMI app to streamline model management

Bug fixes:

  • fixed bug where Preset boxes were not displaying correctly in Context Extend app

  • fixed bug where LTM is creating duplicate memories of the same conversation

  • fixed bug where voice configs were not showing if you only have GB voices installed

  • fixed bug where todos from imported data are not marked as completed

  • fixed bug where LTM was not rescheduling deleted tasks


Notes

The LTM bug did not affect your daily conversations. Since LTM only takes the first most relevant conversation, it did not matter if it was duplicated. However, it could be taking up unnecessary space on your phone. You can run Diagnostics in the settings screen to automatically clean up the LTM. You only have to do this once.
