The Agent Era Begins

When we launched Alia just a week ago, we said it was only the beginning. Today, we deliver on that promise with the biggest update Alia has ever received — transforming it from a conversational assistant into a truly autonomous agent platform.

Voice Mode with LiveKit

Alia can now talk to you — literally. We've integrated a self-hosted LiveKit server for real-time voice conversations with ultra-low latency. Speak naturally, interrupt mid-sentence, and have a flowing conversation just like a phone call.

• Full voice conversations — Real-time streaming audio with the AI

• Voice Activity Detection — Natural turn-taking without awkward pauses

• Interruption support — Talk over Alia and it stops to listen

• Speech-to-text — Tap the mic to dictate and fill the text input

Canvas: AI-Generated Interactive UI

Canvas lets Alia push rich UI components directly to your screen during a conversation. Ask for a chart, table, code snippet, or form — and it appears in a slide-in panel instantly.

• Charts — Bar and line charts from AI-generated data

• Tables — Scrollable, formatted data tables

• Code blocks — Syntax-highlighted with copy to clipboard

• Forms — Interactive forms that submit back to the conversation

• Markdown — Rich text with full formatting support

Components persist in your session and stream in real-time via SSE and Socket.IO.

Multi-Channel Gateway

Alia now communicates through Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, and Signal — in addition to the app and Telegram. Built on a composable plugin architecture with typed adapters for configuration, messaging, webhooks, and security.

• Unified webhooks with per-channel signature verification

• Account linking across platforms

• Auto text chunking per platform limits

• Extensible — add new channels by implementing one plugin interface

Workflow Execution Engine

The visual workflow builder now has a full execution engine with topological sorting. Available nodes: AI Text, AI Image, GitHub, Condition, and Memory. Progress streams in real-time via Socket.IO.

Skills, Automations, and Analytics

• Skills — Configurable personas that shape Alia's behavior (Creative Writer, Code Reviewer, or your own)

• Automations — Cron-based scheduled tasks with atomic execution

• Analytics — Usage tracking with aggregation dashboards

• Hooks pipeline — Pre-chat and post-chat logic for every interaction

• Web scraper and file generator tools

What's Next

Coming soon: MCP integrations for external tools, deeper autonomy with proactive task management, and more channels based on community demand.
