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:

1. If you need to reset the AIPI's network settings, press and hold the function button for more than 5 seconds to enter selection mode or network setup mode. The status light will flash purple, and the screen will display instructions—follow them.
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

1. Voice Interaction

·After network setup and agent assignment, when AIPI displays "Standby," you can begin using it.

·Click on any AI agent to view its details.

2. Agent Configuration

Creating a New Agent

·Click “Agent Creation and Devices,” then click “Create My Agent.” In the pop-up information box, enter some basic details about the agent, then click Confirm.

·Agent Name – Enter the name for your agent.

Language Preference – Select the languages that AIPI can understand and use.

Model Selection – Choose a large language model to power your agent.

Character Introduction – Provide a text description to define the agent’s identity and role.

Configuring an Agent

·On the Role Configuration page, you can configure the created agent in greater detail.

·Character Templates – Official templates provided by AIPI. Modify them to make the agent's responses closer to your intended vision.

·Character Timbre – Choose a voice for the agent. You can select the replicated sound after successful review here.

·Voice Cloning: Click “Voice Cloning” to access the audio track display interface. Only members can perform voice cloning. With a Pro membership, you get access to 5 voice cloning tracks.

1.After clicking “Generate/Replicate” you'll be redirected to the audio upload interface, where you can choose to upload an audio file from your device or record audio directly. Please note that replicated voices must be authorized by the original speaker or be uncontested audio files. For optimal results, recorded audio should be at least 10 seconds long.

2.After uploading the audio file, you can choose the language for the transcription or upload the audio again.

3.To trim the audio, drag the sliders on the left and right to select the desired segment. The audio clip should be between 2 and 30 seconds long.

4.AI-powered noise reduction processes the audio to reduce noise. Once the process is complete, you can preview the audio before and after processing. Data metrics also provide insight into the current audio quality, which directly impacts the accuracy of the reproduction.

5.Adjust the volume and speaking speed of the voice sample. We recommend staying within the recommended range, as deviating from it may affect the final result.

6.Select an example and click “Synthesize” to preview the audio effect. You can also edit the voice name at this time.

7.After clicking “Confirm Submission,” the voice cloning process will begin. The voice will then undergo official review, and you must wait one hour before it becomes available. Once approved, select the name of the cloned voice from the voice selection menu when configuring your character to use it.

8.Purchase Tracks

Click “Purchase Tracks” to buy individual remastered tracks. Note that this sound remastering feature is available exclusively to members.

·Memory Type: Includes "Long-term memory" and a “No memory” option.

Long-term memory: Features AI memory functionality. For agents with this feature enabled, their memory will be updated after each conversation. You can pre-program information you want the AI to remember—such as birthdays, hobbies, and habits—into the AI memory; you can also use this memory feature to develop other capabilities.

No memory: AIPI does not retain a record of conversation content, and you cannot pre-program information you want it to remember when creating an agent.

·Skill Extensions – Add skills such as maps, weather queries, or web searches to expand the agent's capabilities. Developers can also create custom skill extensions to unlock unlock even more features and possibilities.

Custom MCPs can be added; currently only SSE format is supported.
