Layla v6.1.0 has been published!

This update allows you to use Layla as your phone's default assistant, replacing Google Gemini!


Here's a demo of the feature in action:


Layla as your phone's default assistant

Here's a tutorial on how to change the default assistant for your Samsung phone: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001575/

Step 1: go to your Settings

Settings menu screenshot with options for Connections, Connected devices, Galaxy AI, Modes, Routines, and Sounds. Sign-in prompt at top.

Step 2: search for "digital assistant"

Search results for "digital assistant" on a smartphone. Three app options are shown. A keyboard is visible below.

Step 3: Tap on the digital assitant app setting

Settings screen shows digital assistant app options with toggles for analyzing on-screen text, images, and flash screen notification.

Step 4: change the default assistant to Layla

Settings screen for choosing a default digital assistant app. Options: Google (recommended), Tasker, Layla (selected). Grey background.

Voila! When you long press the power button, Layla will come up as your default assistant!


You can set a default character in Layla, so the assistant that gets brought up is your own character! This gives a new dimension to your personal assistant on your phone.

After this update (android) I have lost the functionality of being able to import safetensor models for SD image gen. The system throws an error related to finding the file, converting the file or reading the file, and sometimes it just completely crashes. I've tried multiple safetensors, even models that I had installed previously, but this happens every time.
