Hi Xiaozhi is a mobile client designed for Xiaozhi AI services. It helps you connect your iPhone or iPad to a Xiaozhi server for natural voice conversations, image recognition, and local service configuration. Key features: • Voice chat: press-to-talk, one-question mode, and realtime conversation mode. • Image recognition: choose images from Photos or use the camera to recognize the current frame. • Voice playback: read assistant replies aloud. • Xiaozhi service binding: configure OTA, WebSocket, tokens, and Vision endpoints. • Diagnostics and repair: test connections, run quick diagnostics, normalize URLs, and back up or restore configuration. • Chat history: store conversations locally so you can view, search, copy, and clear them. • Bilingual interface: switch between Chinese and English. • Custom emojis: use built-in GIF emojis or import your own images and GIFs. Hi Xiaozhi is suitable for users who want to connect to Xiaozhi servers, local network services, or self-hosted AI services. You can configure your own service endpoints. Privacy summary: The app is not used for advertising tracking. Voice, images, text, and connection settings are used only to complete conversations, recognition, and service connection that you initiate. If you use a self-hosted server, related data is sent to the server you configure. If you use a developer-provided demo or public service, data is sent to that service for AI processing. You can clear chat history, reset configuration, and turn off permissions in iOS Settings.
