Lily is a voice AI assistant. The app has three main parts: AI CHAT, TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION, and SMART HOME CONTROL — plus a toolkit for people who spend time behind the wheel. The first screen is the chat window. Everything else opens from the menu button in the top-left corner. 1. AI ASSISTANT - Chat by text or voice, with a wake word. - Several assistants to choose from, each with its own voice and personality. - Agent skills: scan QR codes, read text from a photo, ask questions about a picture. - MCP management: connect the assistant to external tools you configure yourself. 2. NAVIGATION - Search for a destination, choose between routes, follow turn-by-turn guidance. - Offline map tiles so it keeps working without a signal. - Vietnamese road signs and speed limits, available offline. - Speedometer cluster and a mirrored HUD for the windscreen. - Road reports: traffic jams, accidents, speed checks. - Trip history: review distance, photos and clips from each drive. - Play local music and listen to radio without leaving the driving screen. 3. SMART HOME - Control devices through your own Home Assistant server. - Control eWeLink/Sonoff devices with your own account. - Connect a Lily Box (ESP32) over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. - Send infrared commands to air conditioners and TVs (requires a 3.5mm IR blaster). - Push maps and images to an E-Ink display tag over Bluetooth. The app controls YOUR devices; you add your own server or account. 4. VEHICLE DATA — SEPARATE HARDWARE REQUIRED - OBD-II: requires an ELM327 Bluetooth LE adapter in the car's OBD-II port. - OBD-I (ALDL): for pre-1996 GM/Delco cars, requires a Bluetooth LE ALDL cable. - Tyre pressure (TPMS): requires Bluetooth LE tyre-pressure sensors. Without the hardware these screens open but show no readings. 5. CAMERAS - Public traffic cameras in Vietnam and a few other countries. - View a Wi-Fi dashcam (requires a separate RTSP or MJPEG camera). 6. NETWORK STREAM A player for stream addresses you enter yourself (m3u8, rtsp, http) or your own .m3u file. The app bundles and provides no channels or content of any kind. 7. UTILITIES AND GAME - Vietnamese lunar calendar and weather forecast. - Find Cats: a hidden-object game with multiple levels. VIP PLAN Some features require a VIP plan; everything else is free with no time limit. PERMISSIONS - Microphone, speech recognition — to hear voice commands. - Location — navigation, speed-limit alerts, weather. - Bluetooth — OBD adapters, tyre sensors, E-Ink tag. - Local network — to find eWeLink/Sonoff devices and the Lily Box. - Camera — QR scanning and photos for the assistant. - Photo library — attach images in chat, save trip photos. Declining a permission disables only that feature; the rest keeps working.
