Network Setup

First-Time Use:

1. On initial startup, follow the on-screen instructions. Use an internet-enabled device like a phone to connect to AIPI's hotspot PI-Lite-XXXX (XXXX varies; check the screen).

2. Open a browser on your device and enter http://192.168.4.1 to access the configuration page. Select your Wi-Fi and enter the password. AIPI will restart automatically upon success.

Reconfiguring the Network:

2. Reconnect to the AIPI hotspot and access the configuration page to select a new Wi-Fi and enter the password.

Activation Instructions

In its initial state, AIPI comes with a default AI agent that can engage in direct conversation. If you wish to use a different AI agent, you must replace the agent and bind the device to your account, which requires an activation process.

When AIPI is in its initial state (i.e., no AI agent has been bound) and in standby mode, press and hold the right function key to display the selection interface. Double-tap the function key, and the device will display its device code.

Selection Interface

Equipment Code Announcement

Binding an Agent

When AIPI broadcasts a 6-digit device code, please log in to the AIPI Developer Community website at https://xdc.aipi.com.

1.Bind Marketplace Agent

In the Agent Marketplace, select the AI agent you wish to bind. After clicking “Import,” enter the six-digit device code announced by AIPI. Input the device code and click Confirm to complete the AI agent binding.

2.Bind Custom Agent

Click“Agent Creation and Devices”, then click " Application Creation," and fill in basic agent information to complete creation.

After creation, click "Add Devices" and enter the device code in the pop-up to bind and assign the AI agent. Once bound, AIPI enters standby mode. Use the wake word "computer" or briefly press the function button to start a conversation.

Device Replacement Agent

Method 1: When the device is in its initial state and has not yet been paired with an AI agent, an activation procedure is required. For details, refer to the activation instructions.

Method 2: If the device has already been paired with an AI agent and you need to switch agents, click “Device code not popping up.” This will display all paired devices. Select the desired device and click “Unbind.” After restarting the device, it will announce a six-digit device code.

Method 3: View all devices under the current account. On the “Agent Creation and Devices” page, click “Device Management.” This interface displays information for all devices bound to the current account. Locate the target device and click “Unbind.” Then restart the device, which will broadcast a six-digit device code.

AIPI Function Usage
