Aide on-device, the built-in no-key assistant model, got a major upgrade:
• Far more accurate device actions — timers, alarms, and calendar events understand phrases like "an hour and a quarter" or "next Friday at 8:30"
• Better understanding of voice commands
• Answers what it knows, searches the web when it doesn't
• Fixed: conversations are now titled from your first message
The updated on-device model downloads automatically if you use Aide on-device. Cloud providers are unaffected.
