We're thrilled to announce the launch of Personas, a game-changing feature that takes your Voilà experience to a whole new level!

What is a Persona?

Think of Personas as additional personalities for Voilà - ones that you can customize to make your interactions more personal, efficient, and tailored to your needs. It's like having multiple versions of Voilà, each fine-tuned to different aspects of your life or work.

With Personas, you can:

• Personalize Your Whole Experience
  Provide knowledge about yourself, your writing style, or your voice. Share how you typically communicate or work.
• Tweak Voilà's Behavior
  Tell Voilà about your specific preferences. For example:
  - "I prefer detailed answers."
  - "I enjoy casual conversations."
  - "Treat me as an expert"
  
• Create Specialized Experts
  Design a completely new Persona, like an expert in a specific field, to help you tackle particular tasks or projects.

Personas work globally across all your interactions with Voilà. Whether you're having a casual chat or using Custom Actions, your chosen Persona will guide Voilà's responses and behavior.

We think you will love using Personas to make Voilà your own.

Personas - Making Voilà More Personalized and Helpful

Automate your tasks by connecting Voilà to external apps, custom APIs, and no-code automation platforms like Zapier or Make.com. See this demonstration of how you can use Voilà to automatically create content and publish it on your social media channels.

You can now use your own OpenRouter API key with Voilà! OpenRouter integration gives you access to additional AI models such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet, o1-mini, o1-preview, Claude 3 Haiku, Gemini Pro, and more.

You can now specify the aspect ratio for images created by Voilà—simply include the preferred aspect ratio in your prompt, e.g. "landscape", "portrait", "square," or "16:9".

Use Voilà to generate images from text. Simply choose the "Generate Image" option from the library, describe the image, and Voilà will create an image based on your input.

We're excited to introduce Deep Search—a new action in Voilà's library that helps you research and find detailed, accurate answers to your questions using advanced web search. It is capable of answering even the most complex questions and provides links to the sources it uses, so you can easily explore more information without sifting through search results.

Download Voilà Desktop App

Voilà now supports the ability to upload and chat with documents and images.

The beta version of this feature is currently being tested as part of the Voilà Ultimate plan (as well as equivalent plans and users with their own OpenAI API key). This feature has been added to version 1.5.9 of Voilà and is currently being rolled out.

How to use this feature?
Simply drag&drop/paste documents and images into Voilà, or click the "paperclip" icon in the bottom of Voilà dialog to select files from your computer.

Limitations:
- Maximum of 3 attachments, 2.5MB per file.
- Supports these document types:
.pdf, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .csv, .xml, .json, .yaml, .yml, .txt, .md, .html

We will be expanding suport for other document types as well as trying to increase the file size limit in our future updates. Please note that this feature does not have the OCR capability at the moment - i.e. uploading PDFs with scanned images will not work.

Voilà Quick Actions are designed to streamline your workflow and enhance productivity when using the Voilà Desktop app. This feature allows you to perform single-step operations on selected text from any application on your computer – whether you're working in Google Docs, your email client, or any other text-based application.
