"Sources" feature

[AndraxDev]

New Sources function

What is it?

We will plan to implement "Sources" feature so users can use selected datasets, databases or articles with SpeakGPT. This will potentially improve answers quality and will enhance bot response. Example data sources: Weather API, Public transport APIs. Example user questions to assistant:

What is the weather in my location? (in this case user can use "Additional info" field to enter data like address or city)
When will bus N arrive? (In this case user can use "Additional info" to enter information about stops near their home)

Data privacy

Some functionality may be limited due to local data protection laws (like background location permission)

Security

All information using by this feature should be encrypted and saved locally only because "Sources" data store may contain potential sensitive user information.

Accuracy

To improve accuracy, user is able to select a model, setup initial prompt and provide additional information

User experience

This function will be accessible via Settings or in chat or assistant window

Customizations

• Ability to customize instruction prompt
• Ability to add additional information
• Basically, online data or APIs will be only available during the first release, but file indexing may be added in future.

Feature availability

Both SpeakGPT for Android and SpeakGPT Lite for Android will receive this feature. Rolling this feature for SpeakGPT Web is not planned in the near future, but things may change.

Great app, please keep it up! Will you add support for Gemini API separately?

[AndraxDev]

Currently, this app depends on OpenAI format libraries so adding support for Google Cloud might be rough. But you can still try to access Gemini through OpenRouter. Please make note, that some features like web searching and image recognition are not a part of the LLM. It's an extension from companies who provides their AI assistants. In future, a special feature "Sources" will be added. Stay tuned!
