Introducing Personas

Personas in Voilà

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.

Chat with Documents and Images

Voilà Ultimate
Chat with Documents and Images

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.
