What's New
Every update, improvement, and fix — tracked here so you always know what's changed.
Upload PDFs & Documents to Your Agents
#Give your agent a file — a PDF, a manual, a menu, a product spec — and it'll answer questions directly from it. We're building a document pipeline that intelligently compresses your uploaded files into the agent's context, so you can turn any document into a knowledgeable assistant. In active development.

Voice Cloning for Japanese & Spanish
#Clone any voice in Japanese, Spanish, or Spanish (Mexico) — a personal language tutor in your own voice, a warm storyteller for your kids, or an anime-style character you've always wanted to talk to. Voice cloning for the new languages is in final testing and expected within the next month.

Open-Source SDK on GitHub
#For developers: the AIPI Lite SDK will be published on our official GitHub, so you can build your own integrations, tools, and experiments on top of AIPI. We're putting the finishing touches on the docs and examples before release.

Maker Kit — 3D-Printable Mods & 6-Pad Expansion
#A free pack for hardware tinkerers. Six exposed pads on the back of AIPI Lite give you power and I/O — VBAT, GND, UART (TX/RX), and two GPIOs (IO40, IO41) — accessible without soldering through a pogo-pin breakout fixture. We're releasing the STL files so you can 3D print the fixture (and other structural mods) on any Bambu Lab printer and start hooking AIPI up to motors, sensors, displays, or whatever you're building.

Tutorial: Drive an RC Car with AIPI
#The first project in our developer tutorial series: use AIPI as a host controller to drive a remote-control car. Full source code, wiring diagram, and step-by-step walkthrough. More maker projects coming after this one.

Voice Cloning, Redesigned
#Preview your cloned voice before you submit, and get results in about an hour instead of a day. The whole flow has been rebuilt around one idea: you should never have to wait to find out if your clone sounds right.
Instant preview — hear the clone immediately, re-record if it's not right.
Built-in editing — trim and clean up your recording without leaving the page.
~1 hour review — down from 24 hours.
Updated Subscription Plans
#New plan lineup alongside V1.2.3: Free, Pro $9.99/mo, Ultra $15.99/mo, and a one-time Lifetime pass at $199. All paid plans are single-payment — no auto-renewal.
-
Japanese, Spanish & More
#AIPI now speaks 5 languages — English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Spanish (Mexico) — each with a native-sounding default voice. Voice cloning for the new languages is coming in a future update.
-
Stability, Battery & Power Button
#A firmware update focused on reliability and the little things you touch every day: battery drain, WiFi recovery, and how the power button feels.
Standby battery — up to 30% longer idle time between charges.
WiFi reconnect — automatic recovery after router restarts, no more manual re-pairing.
Faster first conversation — ASR, TTS and the model are now pre-loaded on boot, so there's no wait before your first sentence.
New power button behavior — 3-second long-press to boot or shut down, with LED color feedback (white → yellow on, pink off) to prevent accidental triggers.
Agent Memory Toggle
#You can now turn off memory for individual agents. Tool-type agents — like a company introduction bot or a restaurant menu assistant — no longer accumulate history that causes confusion across different users.
-
AIPI at CES 2026
#AIPI Lite was showcased at CES Unveiled on January 4 and throughout the main show (Jan 6–9) in Las Vegas. Featured in Reuters, Forbes, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance. Over 2,000 attendees got hands-on with AIPI at our booth.
-
Character Templates & Cross-Device Sync
#Two things to make getting started — and living with multiple AIPIs — easier.
Character templates — 20+ ready-to-use starting points (companion, tutor, storyteller, comedian, and more). Pick one, tweak it, and you're done.
Cross-device sync — your characters and voice clones now sync automatically across every AIPI on your account. Set it up once, use it anywhere.
Quieter Wake Word & Better Listening
#Based on feedback from early customers: fewer false triggers, better conversation detection in noisy rooms.
Quieter wake word — fewer false triggers from background conversation and TV audio.
Better echo cancellation — AIPI no longer hears itself when the speaker is loud.
Improved end-of-speech detection — AIPI waits for you to actually finish instead of interrupting.
Setup & Stability Fixes
#The first round of fixes after launch, targeting the issues early customers flagged most often.
WiFi setup — clearer error messages when a password is wrong or the network is 5GHz-only.
Device code — fixed a display bug where the pairing code would occasionally fail to render.
Voice consistency — resolved an issue where agents would occasionally switch voices mid-conversation.
AIPI Lite Launches
#AIPI Lite ships. A $26.99 AI device that becomes whoever you want it to be — a character, a companion, a voice, an expert. Your device, your rules.
At launch — create up to 5 custom agents, English and Chinese support, cloud-based AI for fast responses, USB-C charging, all-day battery, and a 128×128 LCD for status and setup.
